I have always been surprised by how much focus Indian batting gets whenever they loose while to me it always looked like the reult of having an impotent bowling lineup
Na it's both. They barely scrape through to 160-170 on 200+ wickets
@@AmanKumar-de1kc even Pakistan barely scrape through to 160 with their mediocre batting but with their solid bowling attack they can still b very competitive.
NZ is also similar with a solid bowling lineup.
@@jimmy_xi9342 Bowling has always been Pakistan's strength. It never has been for India in white ball cricket
@@AmanKumar-de1kc u cannot win big tournaments with ordinary bowling. That's the reality. India were lucky with bowling friendly pitches in the tournament. The moment they got a flat pitch at Adelaide Oval with short square boundaries their bowling got exposed against England and Bangladesh.
Because it does deserve the focus, and let's not forget that's where the leadership resides as well, as both captain and vice captain are batsmen. Also, the difference in perfomance among bowlers doesn't seen to be lopsided which it seems it does with batting. How many matches have we seen especially recently where the top order eats balls and makes it seem the datting conditions are really difficult. But then lower order batsmen and opposition batsmen come along and it's like they're playing on a different pitch altogether!
This makes so much sense it physically hurts. I don't see India changing the approach/selection at least in the next 3-4 years
3-4 years? I'd say 5 years minimum India is behind. And do you really think the rest of the world would be sitting idly and doing nothing? I wouldn't be surprised 5 years down the line England has hitters all the way up to 11 with even bowlers being able to strike like Jos Butler. By then England would be scoring at 10s even on rank tuners. Don't believe me? The English test team is prime example of that where they have frequently outscored India in ODIs and even T20s with their baz ball approach. They are testing in test cricket what is the base risk free rate that they can go with bazball and score big runs, and the answer already is around 5.5-6.5, In 5 years England could be scoring at 6-7 in test matches - which would push ODIs rates to 8-10.
@@rishabdhar6900 so ure saying England will basically be 2000s Australia in 5 years...tho I don't quite think England will reach that lvl , it's quite possible
I'd say they'll change this in 6 months time atleast in T20s.
This approach is being criticised in and out. 2022 is the first year when our top anchors' spots are being questioned.
The inclusion of Tripathi and Samson for the SL series suggest the same and one of them is destined to start for us. They definitely have included an anchor in Ruturaj but we'll always have atleast one of these anchors.
One of the reasons why India won WC 2011 is because of the way Dhoni used Yuvi perfectly to keep picking wickets in the middle overs (something which Yuvi himself said in a recent event). Now even England does the same with Rashid or Jordan.
Where Eng beats others is because it has good bowlers who are more than capable batsmen. Even when they have injuries, they keep having bench strength of all arounders. This is why they are ready for all formats.
And also batsmen who can bat - Joe Root is doing that in PAK and has done that numerously in sub continent. 5 years down the line I wouldn't be surprised that England has a barrage of such cricketers who bowl as well as the main bowlers. Look at any game of India - they never have more than 5 options even though they have fewer batsmen than England, and England on the other hand always has infinite options to choose from.

I hope bcci watch this video. because Bocci's higher decision makers are living in 90's era and methods of appointing coaches and selectors are OUTDATED
Bcci selectors live in nostalgia
@@Drake-xc2qd not selectors.blame who select the selectors and appoint coaches..ipl frenchsie are far ahead than indian team in modern science and data
Newsflash BCCI your top order does not consist of Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid, Laxman, Sehwag and Gambhir with Dhoni as a Keeper/Bat and Zaheer, Agarkar, Kumble and Shrinath to bowl your opposition out.
The last destructive Opener India consistently had is Sehwag... After him all the people who tried to open never stayed destructive for a long period of time and turned to anchor role to keep their place in the team.
Lol u serious.
@@jimmy_xi9342 what so wrong with the opinion?
@@Khader1093 people are conflating Sehwag's Test record to assume he was great in LOIs or T20s. He was average in ODIs with some decent performances and barely noticeable in T20s
@@jogwad1 The commenter is not talking about Sehwag's overall record, but his approach to the game. He always tried to score fast, no matter what.
@@jogwad1 And yet he was the one part of both T20 and ODI WC winning squads and none of the modern greats with far higher average than Sehwag could ever win a crunch game.
I agree India's approach is neither bowling out opposition nor batting deep/outbat the opposition. Its somewhere in the middle. At start of the tenure of the new management, I thought Dravid was going in for outbat approach but Asia Cup disaster was turning point according to me. India lost 2 games because of lack of batting depth after injury of Jadeja. On top of that, Chahal and Harshal did not provide confidence with their bowling before the world cup.
Harshal was one of the worst bowlers to be picked for the tournament in Australia. Brainless selection
@@jimmy_xi9342It wasn't bad selection at that time. Because of rules of ICC , teams should be selected 1 month before world cup. No one knew the conditions in Australia would be so swing and seam friendly. In the recent past bowlers like Ellis, Sams, Faulkner who are similar to Harshal were successful in BBL. He was selected for his death bowling and batting ability. After watching how he performed in bilateral series against Aus and SA , India should have replaced him but people say changing team sends wrong message so India didn't do it.
I always thought similarly about this issue. I believe they take a "backgammon" approach but only half-heartedly: in backgammon as you all may know, you wanna focus on playing to the best of your ability, because even if sometimes you lose some matches, eventually better play equals more wins in the long run, and luck fizzles out as statistics make the better player prevail . But also, when you're losing by a lot, or when you're facing a must-win match (such as the indian knockout matches) the normal value of a win does not apply; even the most advanced computer will label riskier moves as "correct" play when a win or a loss means "something more" than just a single point.. You can't just say "meh, i'll take the loss, i'm better than the other guys anyway". You need to change your playing style. I think this video shows this perfectly. They need to go for riskier play, even if it means taking a few extra wickets when it's all-or-nothing.
Great job as always JK, cheers from buenos aires
Indian mindset from Fans to Selectors to Coaching are mostly Batting concious. We only seem to think about batting. But it has to change to focus on Bowling strategies, field placements and proper wicket taking selections.
With this recent world cup, the answer to why they're losing is very complex, and you've done a brilliant job at going through them. But there needs to be a whole another video on this opening pair of KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma, who are being selected for the side on nothing but name brand and runs against weak opposition. I suppose Sharma is the captain, but there's literally no excuse for KL Rahul. The dude doesn't score when we need him to. He doesn't score fast even when he does score. He is so prone to getting out in the first over, that he's just stopped playing shots in that first over, only to get out a few overs later. He plays one incredible shot a game, has a very big name, has a stat sheet overflowing with empty runs in the IPL, and hence gets 'backed' forever. Frustrates the hell out of me.
Also in ipl when Rahul plays till end he keeps the hopes alive for his team and after 2 overs it always looks like his team will win but then he always loses his wicket and then the team loses. As he scored till end he gets them added for orange cap.
Well he is being groomed to be the next Captain. So, no chance of them dropping him. Expect him to keep pulling on the anchor game in T20 to play it safe and keep his spot. Shitty and old age mentality management.
The elephant in the room is Rohit Sharma - no one wants to hear this, but he's over the hill. The only reason he's in the team, leave alone captain, is because of Ganguly and his ego clash with the Kohli-Shastri combination
Small Tip: Keep the titles of videos as Ep-1 2 3....
It will have 2 advantages:
1. Increase the appeal and put more weight to the video.
2. A future/current watcher will be able to easily watch the videos in order.
Had Rahul been used after surya in most innings, India cud have been explosive. Kohli is magnificent in tough situations. But neither are good openers.
With Sharmaji struggling so bad, we suffered at the start.
Rohit Sharma being out of form really hurt India.
Shikhar Dhawan is out of form as well.
Highly doubt selectors are at fault. 2019 world cup selection was dictated by management. Team management clearly has inputs. Also, squad hasn't really been the issue, rather the selection of 11 which again is done by team management.
I feel England's analysis of pitch and opposition was spot on while india felt helpless when things didn't go according to their plan
England bowled brilliantly in the semifinal with short square boundaries. They never let India get away with the bat until the nitro boost in the end but still they could only get around 170. India's bowling looked absolutely toothless with no help from the pitch.
India could have gone for the super deep batting lineup option as they had the likes of Shardul, Deepak Chahar and Harshal Patel in their main squad + reserve players, all of whom can bat. Given the injury to Bumrah, the bowling was already hampered, and I felt that this trade-off in the XI to increase batting depth would have been the best possible strategy given the situation back then.
Shardul could have been a good choice instead of Axar Patel who looked out of sorts throughout the tournament.
@@jimmy_xi9342 Axar will never look 'in sorts' overseas. And he'll more often than not look brilliant in spinning pitches.
the risk to this approach of having deeper batting would be the attitude of the top 3 of KL, Rohit, and Kohli, all determined to play the "anchor role" ...
The current indin team is like CSK around its 2 yr suspension. Always making easy to win matches go till the last over, and losing in important matches against MI
Well in last 5 yrs csk won 2 of them. Imo team india can learn one thing from csk is that if they have options so why don't try it after giving plenty chances to previous plan. Csk used to do that last over thing in 18,19,20. They won in 18 but in 19 others started to take advantage of this. They tried it again in 2020 but it failed totally. And then csk changed their play in 2021. But in internationals we are still stuck at kl and pant just in hopes that they'll be in their 2018 ipl form. Which they hasn't been in since that season.
Keep the IPL out of ICC events please. It's of very lower standard compared to international cricket
Here come the IPL kids
We are an old team with players who are simply incompatible with T20 but yet, shamelessly, do not retire.
Their greed results in India losing the big tournaments continuously. And it will continue until atleast 2025.
Who are the players incompatible with t20 cricket that should retire and who r the deserving players that should be their replacements?
@@jimmy_xi9342 valid question ❓
More like 2039
There is a pattern occuring especially in T20 world cup knockouts.. from 2016.. all matches in semi finals and finals are being won by team batting second. The last time a team batting first has won a knockout game was in 2014 world cup semis when Srilanka beat WestIndies.
So in number terms, last 11 knockout matches ( 2 in 2014, 3 each in 2016,2021 and 2022 ) have been won by team batting second.
This pattern shows that team batting second is having advantage.
Jarrod Sir.. please make a video analysis on this.
Knockout games in 2014,2016 and 2021 were in the Bangladesh,India and UAE respectively so there was the dew factor while chasing.
No dew in Australia this time around.
Excellent Analysis! India has a problem with a defensive bowling lineup combined with batsmen of great reputation who have fear of failure in big matches. A rejig is required to bring in fresh batting talent (bit more aggressive) and with little to lose in terms of reputation. Also, as long as all-rounders are not up to the mark, let us play with more sets of core skilled players such as Yuzi and Samson instead of Ashwin and Hooda types.
True what we miss is batsmen like Sehwag who has a attacking batting mindset. Who gave you flying starts irrespective of the match situation.
Chahal is bowling terribly and is a liability on the field. He couldn't even hold the bat to save his life.
Should move on from him and give more chances to guys like Bishnoi and Rahul Chahar.
@@jimmy_xi9342 Bro stats suggests he is one of the best bowlers and wicket taking bowler in middle overs.
Even Jarrod talked about it in the video.
He can't bat that I agree.
But he is not a terrible fielder
He is in fact a good fielder.
Not the one of the best fielders obviously
But and good one .
@@jimmy_xi9342 My main thought is to bring core skilled players. Don't rely on the spinners batting prowess. Whoever can get you maximum wickets, be it Chahal, Kuldeep or Bishnoi, bring them in.
The success mantra of the Indian top 3 (For last decade or so) has been Shikhar Dhawan. Because everyone knows the impact Rohit and Virat can create once they are set. Someone was needed to keep up the run rate for that period and Gabbar did that perfectly and selflessly. Since the slow down of Shikhar and arrival of Kl Rahul that aspect has been lost. That is the root of all batting approach related conversations
9:30 very well guessed. This is the Main reason.
Finally, someone taking about bowling, rather than regurgitating the need for more aggressive batters. Even Bangladesh almost beat India chasing. England might have chased even 220 with their approach.
Simply put, India's failures in tournaments stems from "the lack of appetite". The team is still playing in the MSD style cricket. It worked until 2015 or so, but this is a new era. Other teams have realised it and have started adapting but team India is still adamant to play it the old way...
The irony, now that are bad in BAN and NZ series too
What irks me here quite a lot is, the level of talent has not been better especially pace bowling. Credit has to go to the IPL for the pacers department.
Batting isn't a problem of a lack of talent but having too many similar type players and incompetent selection.
Many many great points . Just wowwwww 😳😳😳
The spinners are the real reason...We have average spinners now
You selected Yuzi for both 2021 and 22 WC only to bench him..God knows why??
Indian players are more worried about superstardom and hence failure.. the top order will take their time to make their runs and bank on SKY/DK to cover up and post healthy totals.. also take bowlers who can bat because batting shouldn’t be a reason for team’s loss
The issue is not just in T20s or recent. It has been ongoing issue with the team from 2014.
My theory is that Indian team does not play any tri-nation or multi-nation games anymore. The players and team dont face knockouts or finals regularly. Only do so in IPL or ICC tournaments. This has affected how they handle pressure of such games.
Would love to get your take on this theory.
Great analysis
Lovely video man
Please talk about what difference can Rahul tewatia can make to this Indian T20 side. Along with hardik pandya and rishab pant in middle order
waiting for the next ,great video again
finally queen kohli, vada pav and klol exposed via stats 😄
India needs Bowlers and Fielders. India's Batting-dominant approach is severely hampering its ability to win.
love you dude!
It's the curse India is suffering from a while now, termed as "meddling mediocrity", for example Rahul Dravid and his timid strategy in limited day cricket. I think it's not about younger vs older selector, but the do or die attitude that is missing.
Meanwhile BCCI spent whooping 1.35Million USD annually on salary of selection committee and we fans blames players for loss.
This constitutes 5 member and a chairman of senior selection committee, 5 member and a chairman of junior selection committee, 5 member and a chairPerson of women's selection committee.
When can we expect a Ind vs ban series.We had some thrilling match already.
10:17 Leave our mums out of it Jarrod. I saw your incognito yo momma joke from a mile away.
Thanks for presenting datapoints to an observation I have been making since decades. I always get abused by my fellow Indian fans whenever I point out that India's bowling in knockout games is the reason we are losing more than batting. Rohit-Kohli fans think I am defending either of them.
But whatever u do, its the bowling team that wins tournaments. Since 2003 WC final, 70-80% of the time Indian bowling has never supported the batting. But if u look at the teams that won, they do well in bowling. The Starcs, the Woakes, The Rashids, keep chipping at opposition.
When was the last time Indian bowling had the opposition at 10-2 in a knockout game in PP?
The top 7 batsmen of England had a combined t20 strike rate of over 147... No 8-10 were Sam Curran, Woakes and Jordan. No 11 Rashid has 10 first class centuries.
India neither had the batting depth of England, nor the bowling resourcefulness of Pakistan. Spinners could neither take wickets or bowl defensively.
So team selection and a change in approach particularly in the powerplay is what is required.
Planning and mentality can change the entire game.
It's quite a small sample size of only 5 matches.
The problem with India is similar to what it was with England in till the 2015 world cup.
They are a good side, they have got world class players and a championship (IPL/COUNTY) that the world wants to participate in to improve their skills.
But they are playing a brand of cricket that's obsolete. It is a band of cricket that wins them bilaterals, wins them series after series, makes them look good but is obsolete.
Till 2015 Worldcup England were playing cricket of the 2007s or 2009-10s but the world had moved on. But they were winning bilateral ODIs and Test series one after the other. Same is with India, but while players of other were scoring 150+ and even 200 individually with a team score of 350+ English players were being applauded for their 110s and 120s with team score being 270-280.
Same is with India, they are playing a brand of cricket that was acceptable till 2017-19.
This bat strong-build partnership-Bowl in pairs is going to win them bilaterals wjere they can afford to lose one or two games. but that cushion does not coem with cut throat knockout battles. They just get blown away.
And apparently they have still not learnt the lesson even 2 months after the completion of t20 Worldcup
The real reason is that the indian cricketers start considering themselves as superstars and Rockstars when they suddenly get huge amount of money, fan following, unlimited women, 7 star high flying lives and they are satisfied very quickly coming from very poor backgrounds to begin with. They no longer have the hunger and drive to play for the country and to win matches, all they care is their money, women, fame and 7 star lives
Would say this conservative approach is why that India tends to perform better in longer formats?
Due to Over Hype and Lack Of Strong Mentality
Not sure whether only I am feeling like this.
During dhoni's time India won matches because of slow and spin bowlers. He just asked them where and how to bowl and they delivered..
During kholi's time it was pace attack. The energy he had he transferred to the Pacers..
But now, nothing!!
And please call on the name as well - the fat Rohit
they never bowl wicket takers in the middle, chahal was one but apart from him absolutely no one, and if chahal doesnt work middle overs will be dominated by opposition
Is the best of Kohli, Rohit already over ??
NOICE. Looking forward to the next videos!
I Personally think Ashwin and Shami don't belong in the T20 WC squad... I don't know how they always just happen to appear in the scene right before a wc.
Chahal could've made a big difference in the middle overs since every other wrist spinner did well in the tournament.
Chahal was in terrible form prior to the tournament. And he can't even hold the bat if needed. U can't have 4 tailenders in a t20 side.
Ashwin made 2 important contribution with the bat.
@@jimmy_xi9342 he is not a wicket taking option.
Ashwin is never a wicket taking option in T20 cricket
Whether you look at ipl or Recent International T20 matches.
good stuff
JK have you checked Indias toss luck for all LOI KO Losses in last 10 years… forget losses even wins.. the 2011 and 2013 CT India lost toss but still won. Post that all KO Matches which india lost ( 2014 WT20 final, 2015 wc odi sf, 2016 Wt20 sf, 2019 odi wc sf, 2022 wt20 sf, 2021 wt20 group league against pak and nz, 2021 WTC final.. you name it and just look at the records.. INDIA HAD LOST ALL TOSSES EXCEPT the 2017 CT Final.. so the analysis should be why India coudnt counter losses in toss)
NEED LEG SPINNERS THIS WORLD CUP, RATHER HAVE BATTER WHO BOWLS SEAM THAN SPINNER WHO BATS. NEED TO GROOM MORE OF PLAYERS LIKE HARDIK PANDYA. NEED TO GO BACK TO KULDEEP/CHAHAL.
'Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar are not good wicket takers in middle overs.. This is nothing that India wouldn't have known'.. Umm, I am not so sure about the second line Jarrod.
Good story, but would admire more if you can end with a few really concrete findings from data, otherwise a lot of you points sound suggestive or point towards a hypothesis and that is not too helpful for a sport.
jarrod kimber---------------> jagdish kumble
With a population of 1.4 billion, cricket being by far the most popular sport for the country, they have no excuse. The mathma behind these facts say they should forever dominate. Look at Australia, 25 million and cricket isn't even the 2nd most popular sport and look what they do. Imagine Australia if they had 1.4 billion people, they would have a team of bradmans and Warnes lol
Time has come for Indian cricket aka BCCI to stop giving seniors cricketers olive branches and fairytale endings. Any cricketer unless very young (absolute prodigy like Sachin) shouldn't be allowed to play more than 3 ODI world cups and 4 T20 world cups in my view. Look at Rohit Sharma he has played in 8 T20 World Cups (won 1 lost 7) and probably will try to sneak in for the next one too. Its just ridiculous! Its time to start dropping people from formats they dont belong to. Have horses for courses. Injury management has to improve. Lack of trophies will only gonna add pressure. Indian cricket will end up becoming a meme if the mindset with fairytale retirements and Godlike stature doesn't change :(
Choose the 3D player Vijay Shankar as selector.
my mother won't whatsapp me :((((((((
They need to what Pakistan has one - let the old guard out and bring the next generation in. They will form their own strategies in time.
Nice
If they’re stacking batting and still picking spinners who can bat, that’s a problem.
How could they manage without Jadeja?
He left a huge hole in the lower order so they were forced to play Axar and Ashwin.
Ind need Xfactor batters (atleast 2) ,batting in top4 ,for 50ov wcup.
And those players are?
In place of whom?
Make dhoni selector
You should be a commentator.
don't worry, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant will score crucial runs in pressure situations for India.
You can analyze it as much as you want. No matter what team you pick if you score less than 6 runs an over almost in overs 5-10 when side boundaries are tiny you'll loose. No rocket science to it, kohli sharma let the game drift for too long.
May b England bowled very well. Give credit to them too.
England really impressed with the ball throughout the tournament and in the final as well.
And guess what axar jardeja and Ashwin ordnary white ball bowler or need some assistance froom the pitch like test match and batting wise not that much difference froom those three and still they will be around white ball setup
Jadeja is one of the best white ball players for India. What r u smoking?
There's literally no replacement for him and Hardik in the country.

The moment Rohit and Kohli retires from T20 cricket, then India will have chance to win the world cup. Sounds harsh but true
These guys eat up all the deliveries at the beginning at a strike rate of 120-135 by catching up in the end and taking the score to 150-160. We need to start picking aggressive players in the top order and be persistent with them and shouldnt change the team suddenly in the world cup like they have been doing since 2019.
For that u need batting till 8,9
If Rohit & Kohli retire right now, India will lose every single game.
Kohli is the backbone of this team. He is the only one who is able to score when everyone else around him is failing. We can drop Kohli when we have two more SuryaKumar Yadavs, but until then, we just cannot drop Kohli. If India had a deeper batting lineup, I wouldn't mind dropping Kohli & Rohit, but that doesn't seem like happening anytime soon.
@@annamalaian0711 Absolutely spot on. We cannot criticize Kohli for scoring slower and not taking risks when he knows that there is nobody after him & Hardik to score an additional 20-25 runs.
What a braindead comment. Without Kohli India would not have made it to the semifinals this time. Indian fans r really delusional.
@@orion7326 Why India keeps winning in bilateral T20 series without these guys contribution. I agree Kohli might be the backbone but that was before 2019. He was scoring singles and once a while a boundary but now scoring rate has dropped down especially in his first 20 balls which adds pressure on other batsmen and Surya needs to save everytime to score quick runs. If he gets out, ppl blame him 🤦🏻♂️ Top 3 lost us the world Cup and we didn't pickup wicket takers in the world Cup. Need to stop changing mindset/tactic that we prepared for the world Cup. They dump all of that preparation suddenly in the world Cup since 2019
Hi Jarrod can you please highlight west indies's contribution to batsmen's test averages around the world. They seem to be a feeder nation providing 500-600 runs to every batsman with some easy hundreds to boot. If once could make a case for the North Eastern states in India to be relegated to the second rung of Indian domestic cricket, it is imperative we do it in the international arena for a few teams as quickly as possible (SL, WI..). The overall 'sanctity' of cricketing records is going busy. A hard fought career at 39.90 facing McGrath, Ambrose vs the current lot's 60-70 dining on the worst bowling available is taking the fun out of the game. 6 test playing nations are enough tbh.
Joe Root averages more against India than either SL or WI. Kohli averages lesser against WI than he does against Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. Williamson averages the same against Pakistan as he does against West Indies. Only Steve Smith is an outlier with an otherworldly 179. My guess is that it might help a few players but only by a few percentage points and as the big teams don't play either WI or SL for more than 2 matches every few years, the bump can't be too exaggerated. Pitches were much flatter and draws more common earlier in most places (at least during the latter part of 90s and the 2000s). You hardly see 600+ matches now (the current matches are the exception rather than the rule). Bowling's more accurate now than earlier and that is most evident by the lack of the number of balls you can square cut (short and wide). Batting against the top teams is objectively more difficult now so any bump you get against the lesser teams is balanced out by how much more difficult it is against SA, Australia, NZ, India and England than earlier.
@@AmanKumar-de1kc
100% agree...
Test batting is the most difficult right now.
Overall Team averages of matches played by some legendary players are shown below(Higher the average - easier the test batting era)
Sachin - 36.43
Dravid - 36.15
Ponting -35.52
Smith -32.95
Babar - 31.63
Kohli - 31.12
Eg. There is a difference of 5 batting average/player in the matches Kohli and Sachin played.That means Kohli would have scored 5 RPI more if he played in 2000s in Test.That is a huge difference.
(That translates to atleast 1000 runs and 5 centuries more for a player in current generation compared to someone who played in 2000s)
Compensating the eras Test batting average of players look as follows(in bracket original average)
Sachin 53(53)
Dravid 52(52)
Ponting 52(52)
Smith 64(61)
Babar 49(45)
Kohli 54(49)

You can actually figure these numbers out yourself using ESPN Statsguru.
Great site if you are a stats freek
Just need to know where to put the filters😌
These stats Obv don't reveal the full picture as you very well know. It's interesting how people drag in the numbers to justify the nonsense pervading world test cricket. Zimbabwe, West Indies, SL have accelerated in their decline as is very clear to any cricketing bystander. Ensure only the top 5 plays. Just showcasing some lower avg of a player (when he clearly is part of a very average batting line-up pushing down the team avg+ the match avg) does not change the fact that 4 teams only have the resources to hold back a younger player from leaving T20. I'm ok with the bargain, let's just have a compact test scenario.
Also in response to your stat, I'd love to know what the team average of india would be if Kohli was batting with Dravid, Laxman, Sehwag, Sachin...instead of the Rahanes who wouldn't be dropped even after 30 matches of low scores. Please use better stats.
Its practically impossible to give Prithvi Shaw or Rahul Tripathi a place in the top order, as Indian Cricket is not yet mature enough to move on from the key players, even though they have not been very consistent. Unlike England (where they moved on from Joe Root), Indian Cricket believes in giving a lot of chances to the experienced players. This in turn does not provide enough opportunities to the new and young players, so when most of the current experienced players will retire, India will have a team with the least experience (compared to the top 6 teams).
With the rise of franchise cricket, the importance of bilateral (white-ball) series has declined. Now we rarely have any 5-match ODI/ T20I series. Considering this, BCCI should be more practical and allow players to play in foreign leagues.
Players contracted to BCCI can't play for foreign leagues and it hardly would make any difference TBH when we have our own marque league.
IPL does have a few limitations. Only 4 overseas' players per team. IPL being held in India (or UAE in exceptional cases), conditions are quite different from SENA nations. I am not saying that the players should stop playing in IPL but if BCCI allows players to play in foreign leagues it would be more beneficial. It would give them a chance to play around 10-12 matches in foreign conditions (which is more than they would get in a bilateral series), and also play against more foreign players.
Why people don’t talk about Rahul Dravid as a coach?
Ravi Shasthri was a far better coach than Rahul Dravid.
But Shasthri was made fun of for the smallest of losses because he didn't have a stature like Dravid.
And Indians are fools enough to believe that calmer people in grounds are better than aggressive ones.Rubbish
Rahul-Rohit era lost an Asia cup, A WorldCup, A series against Bangladesh in span of 3 months.
How ridiculous that is.
Shasthri won 2 series in Australia and 1 in England.
That how good a Test side was India under Kohli-Shasthri era.
And India never lost a unimportant series like what happened last week under Dravid.
Its time people come out of their bias and start criticising Dravid-Rohit era.
