The Master, the Commander & Lieutenant !

The Commander, Dhoni, is tough and relaxed. He is not bothered about big game pressures !

The Master is the Master Blaster, Sachin. He wants to perform well during this WC.

The Lieutenant, Sehwag, now controls his batting and wants to bat the entire 50 overs !

It is obvious that the Indian challenge depend on these stalwarts. Can they pull it off ?

The Organisers want India to go to the finals. Then only will be Cup be a financial success. Now there are no tickets available ! No tickets for the Sunday match, no tickets for the finals ! The reason - India did not exit early like last time. Nor is she showing a tendency to exit. With India having beaten NZ and AUS in the warm up matches and sinking BD in the opener, the Indian fan is highly bullish. If you look at records, you will have to agree that India is the strongest team on paper ! Can India do it ?

When cricket is facing immense competition from other sports like soccer, when the game is dying everywhere ( I dont have time to spare for watching Tests or ODIs ), India has come as the economic saviour of cricket. IPL became a success and the World Cup will be a success this year as 70% of the viewers are Indians ! So it is good for Cricket that India dominate !

If India is the Redeemer of Cricket, it is imperative that she puts up a sterling performance before her fans ! Can the Indian team do it ? Let us analyse what the heavens say !

In the horoscope of the Master, we find that he is not running any bad time. Rahu Dasa, the planetary period of the North Node, is on. The North Node gives the effect of his dispositor, Jupiter, who is retrograde, which is equivalent to exaltation. The subperiod is that of Venus, who is the lord of Fortune. So we dont find any negative factors and Sachin should put up a good performance.

In the horoscope of the Lieutenant, we find that favourable Jupiter transits the 11th. He is running the period of Jupiter and the subperiod of Saturn, which means that there are some negative traits. But since Jupiter is favourable, he will overcome the negativities and play a good role.

In the horoscope of the Commander, we find that he is running the favourable 7th Transit of Jupiter. He is however, under second Sade Sathi. Second Sade Sathi means Rising Saturn. Rising Saturn means immense pressure and tension and he will have to overcome all these. On the positive side, Rising Saturn can give laurels. It was during this Rising Saturn period, that the Commander brought India the T20 World Cup.
