Sometimes you are a victim of your own success. The Indian team had the most prolific 1-2-3 punch in World Cricket. The problem with that was that it masked the brittle middle order. Other than Kedar Jadhav, none of the others #TeamIndia #INDvNZ #CWC19
were established batsmen capable of winning the match on their own. I don’t think Ambati Rayudu was the solution but the selectors created a sticky situation by playing him till it was too late. And when they went the other way, they chose an unproven #TeamIndia #CWC19 #INDvNZ
player like Vijay Shankar. Dhawan’s injury creates a bigger issue because it took out a solid batsman in KL Rahul. What happened in the semis was always on the cards. The move to win the next World Cup starts now. #TeamIndia #CWC19 #INDvsNZ
Two main issues: who is the coach/manager? We need to identify him now because he needs to choose his support staff. Who is the captain? Will Virat Kohli be able to maintain his intensity for another 4 years?#TeamIndia #CWC19 #INDvsNZ
The game has gotten younger so we need to learn from MSD experience and take a call on someone like Rohit Sharma who is 32 now. There are players like Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill who need to get a good 2/3 years under their belt. #TeamIndia #CWC19 #INDvsNZ
I am not sure Rishabh Pant is what we hoped for in him. For starters he needs to learn to play with both feet in the ground and both hands on the bat! The new NDA coach can take care of that! @DravidOfficial 😊#TeamIndia #CWC19 #INDvsNZ
I am as disappointed as everyone else with the result but that’s why you play the game on the field and not on paper! Let’s go India! #TeamIndia #CWC19 #INDvsNZ
