Exclusive: Team India goes partying in Hyderabad

Tue-Nov 10, 2009

New Delhi / NewsX Bureau

The night of the Hyderabad ODI was one that every Indian fan is bound to find hard to forget.

NewsX brings for you exclusive pictures from a Hyderabad hotel, a few hours after the Indian team lost to Australia by a mere three runs.

First up is captain Dhoni with a gaggle of girls. The girls clearly can't get enough of the smashing Indian skipper.

Dhoni wasn't the only one enjoying female company - new boy Ravindra Jadeja seems to have had his piece of fun too.

Ashish Nehra can be also seen holding a glass of something that looks spurious to say the least. And, if one looks closely enough, one can see therein Virender Sehwag behind a huge cloud of smoke.

Are the Indian players out of line in behaving like this after a harrowing day's play? Yes. With the team having lost, that's probably the most obvious sentiment.

But then there is the other side of the story. What if the players just chose to relax at the end of what was definitely a rough day? Difficult to play judge on this one.

Sachin Tendulkar, meanwhile, was the only Indian cricketer to have given the party a miss. After all, he had scored a memorable 175 earlier that evening.

Im Very much Dissapointed... I have seen Dhoni and Co. Partying in ECR Chennai before, But This One Inbetween a Poor Series... Just Annoys me.. There are much deserved players in india and they just dont Deserve this... I Feel Dhoni Should be Dropped as a Captain... These Cricket Players are just Party Animals... They all Should be Dropped... I Personally Know People who feel Terribly Bad when India Loses... The Nationality Is Lacking From These Indian Young Animals...

Is this the team that we all adore and love so much. hate it.If you win and enjoy we could have not bothered at all, but the indifference shown by this team even after losing so many matches in the recent past just does not go down well. Do they earn so much that they do not care whether India wins or loses?I am a sportsman and even if i lose in practise i feel let down and these guys here instead of giving the great little master company in the middle are far better off in the disco. They should be kicked.
