Melbourne: The Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Indian team is on fire right now with two back-to-back dominant wins in the ongoing World Cup. Few from the 86,676-strong crowd which watched them decimate South Africa in a World Cup Group B match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, would feel that this defending champion outfit is beatable.

Former CEO of Cricket Victoria, Ken Jacobs (1980-2007) however, prefers to be among this minority. Ironically, he's not comparing this Indian team to any of the current World Cup teams though. His comparison is with Sunil Gavaskar's Benson & Hedges World Championship of Cricket-winning Team India of 1985.
