Unpredictability can be India’s strength: Fletcher

England’s heartbreaking loss to Sri Lanka notwithstanding, MS Dhoni believes Alastair Cook’s team remains a stern opponent in the English conditions. Extending his support to his English counterpart, the Indian skipper refused to take the battered hosts lightly on the basis of the last-over.

Cook has been copping criticism from all quarters owing to his team’s defeats and his own poor run with the bat. Dhoni, who is no stranger to being under the scanner, emphasized with the England skipper.

What Happened

Going back to his own team, Dhoni was pleased with the way the first four days of the tour have gone, weather and facility wise. On a long and challenging tour, the skipper takes solace in the fact that his team will.

But it’s nice sometimes because it brings in that factor of unpredictability.
He was also hopeful of his young team converting their weakness into their strength.
The weather had been very kind in the three-four days we’ve been here, which means we have been able to achieve what we wanted to in the first four days.
