Dhoni's men can be invincible, says Vengsarkar

Former India skipper and chairman of selectors Dilip Vengsarkar said Team India should aim to be invincible.
"It is an amazing victory and there is no better joy than bringing back the World Cup. It is important that the team does not rest on its laurels and thrives to be invincible," the former chairman of selectors told MiD DAY yesterday.

"We have got an excellent side. We need to look for some good bowlers. There are a few right now, but we have to unearth some more good bowlers to become a dominant side," added Vengsarkar, a member of the 1983 World Cup-winning team.u00a0

Vengsarkar said Dhoni and Co helped erase the bitter memories of the 1987 World Cup semi-final loss against England at the Wankhede Stadium.

"Winning the World Cup in 1983 was obviously special, but Dhoni's team made up for the loss we suffered at this venue in the semis (in 1987)," said Vengsarkar, who missed that match due to a stomach disorder.

Vengsarkar was heartened to see youngsters playing a crucial role in seeing India home on Saturday.
"We played extremely well. Everybody contributed in this win. It was good to see youngsters (Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir made 35 and 97 respectively) rising to the occasion after Viru (Virender Sehwag) and Sachin (Tendulkar) got out early," he said.
