Coming NZ tour would be the most difficult test for Dhoni's captaincy so far. NZ, for some reason, has turned out to be most difficult tour for Indian teams in the past. Last time, India was beaten 2-0 in tests and 5-1 in ODIs. This was just before 2003 WC where India was runners up. Whether it is the pitches or conditions, Indian teams have usually struggled there and this time would be no exception. How India and Dhoni comes out of it would be interesting to see as it will define if India has in it to become #1 team in the world.
A number of people have termed India as #1 team after their recent victories but in my opinion they are still way behind SA and even Aus. The away record needs to be improved and also the consistency. As per current standings, India should beat NZ 2-0 or 3-0 in tests and by a huge margin in ODIs as well. Lets see and hope India gets the same result on field also which is expected on paper as per team strength and rating.
