CLOSE-IN: Indian Cricket Is In A Cruise Control Mode (IANS Column)
The T20 World Cup: The T20 World Cup victory and the recent convincing series win against Zimbabwe has put Indian cricket on a cruise control mode. The senior side with their win in the World Cup resonated with how Indian cricket in the shortest format of the game has flourished. The young Indian side under the captaincy of Shubman Gill in Zimbabwe also showcased that they too are now ready to take on the best. India’s dilemma is whom to play and whom to leave out.
The Indian team, although sailing smoothly, is in a transformation phase. The reason being, a new coach in Gautam Gambhir and 3 of their senior cricketers retiring from the T20 Internationals. The trio of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja have regaled us with scintillating performances for two decades and one understands their hesitation in continuing to play all the 3 formats of the game. Family time is an important factor, especially with growing children. Cricket may be their job and their bread and butter, however, losing those precious moments with their kids, one feels, is what has induced them to call it a day.
