In today's cricket player, Stars to watch, we are featuring the young Sreeshanth. Sreeshanth is surely a cricket player with lots of capabilities, as was evident when he successfully picked up the wicket of the great Master Blaster, Sachin in the domestic cricket. That too twice. There were three domestic matches and the master blaster was returning after a break. In the first match he got out to Balaji while in the second and third match he got out to Sreeshanth. This definitely was a signal of his arrival. Sreeshanth hails from Kerala and did his initial schooling in Bangalore. Infact the picture opposite shows him with his principal Abida, when he had been back to his school after his selection into the Indian Team. In his initial matches he has been a little expensive, yet i am sure he is going to be a great asset for Indian team.

Cricket Players - Indian - Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Today's Emerging star is Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

He hails from Jharkand. It would be apt to call him Dazzling Dhoni or Destroyer Dhoni. He has relieved the burden of Dravid as the wicket keeper and surely seems to be India's answer to wicket keeper batsmen. Thus a very important position has been filled. With the current form and attitude that he displays, he is sure to have a successful journey in the Indian cricket team.

Inspite of the limited foot movement, he is very daring. He is not bothered who the bowler is, to him it is only about hitting the ball.

Lets wish him a continued success.
