Stars of '67-68 all praise for Dhoni's men


Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi
Captain on India's victorious tour to New Zealand in 1967-68


This Indian team is much better than ours. I think, it is one of India's best ever sides of all time. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's boys were impressive throughout the Test series and they have played consistently over the past few years at home and abroad and in all forms of the game. I have no doubt that this side will enjoy more success in the future.

242 runs at 48.40u00a0 apiece during India's tour to New Zealand in 1967-68

The way this team kept on performing was amazing. I have watched so many Indian teams over the years and I think this is one of the best we ever had. This team has great batting line-up, good bowling attack and doing good in fielding. They won in England, did well in Australia and Sri Lanka. What more do you want?

24 wickets at 18.79 apiece during India's tour to New Zealand in 1967-68

Tailenders scoring runs has been a revelation of this tour. We have the best batting line-up in the world. We have the best four batsmen in the world now Gambhir, Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman. Sehwag was not in the best of form on this tour. I won't call Dhoni a tailender. But the way Zaheer, Harbhajan and the tailu00a0 batted, it has been a revelation.
