Indian batsmen have fired in unison at the ongoing Asia Cup, where the team chased near-300 totals without any fuss, making Srikkanth believe that Indian cricket was moving forward in the right direction.

"Dhoni, as the captain of Indian cricket team is doing some absolutely fantastic job. He is a very good captain who is capable of successfully managing the matters related to his team and drive the team in the right way. The Indian team has performed quite brilliantly in the Asia Cup against Pakistan and Bangladesh and that's a good sign for Indian cricket," Srikkanth said.

The former batsman was impressed with the team's clinical approach, with which they routed Bangladesh and Pakistan in the league stage. "How the batsmen have reached the targets set before them on their way to two successive wins is actually amazing," Srikkanth, who played 43 Test matches for India, said.

Srikkanth also appreciated the soon to be introduced umpiring review system in the India-Sri Lanka Test series, saying it would provide some balance in the system, heavily loaded in the favour of batters.

"In the game of cricket the batsmen always enjoy too much advantage. Now this is a decision which may give some extra advantages to the bowling side as well," he said. With the memories of 1983 World Cup's silver jubilee celebration at the Lord's still fresh in memory, Srikkanth, one of 'Kapil's Devils' sounded nostalgic while speaking about the event.

"It's fantastic to relive the glory we achieved 25 years back, we really relived the moment going down the memory lane," a delighted Srikkanth reminded.

The World Cup winning team members were felicitated at the Lord's on June 25, the day on which they won India's only world cup defeating dreaded West Indies in the final 25 years ago.

"It feels great to visit the 22 yards where history was created and sharing jokes with your former team-mates inside the same dressing room once again," Srikkanth said.

'Krish' also feels the new Twenty20 format of the game is here to stay. "We have to accept that the twenty-over format of the game is a very good idea. Although it is facing some initial resistance from some sections, we have to accept that the version will be there along with other two -- Test and one-dayers," the 48-year-old former cricketer said.
