CLOSE-IN: Even-Steven Now, India Needs To Win The Test Match Desperately (IANS Column)
![]()
December 8, 2024 turned out to be a black Sunday for Indian cricket. The Indian Men’s Test team and the Women’s side both lost to Australia, whereas the Indian U19 side lost the final of the Asia Cup to Bangladesh. The disappointment of these defeats quite clearly indicates the present state of Indian cricket. Each one of the players have the potential to excel; however, there seems to be something far deeper that is bothering them.
The most common reason in the past for India’s failures seems to always point towards a lack of mental strength, anxiety or fear of failure. Watching the Gen Z of Indian cricket perform on the field, one feels none of these issues seem to actually matter. The young Indian cricketers, whether senior or junior men or women, they are bold, risk-takers, aggressive and super confident about their abilities. This attitude may be great when things are going well for one; however, it can lead to confusion when things go awry.
