First throw away these senior players..!?
Virender Sehwag has said that if the senior players of the
indian team are left aside and a team with young players is built, then they will be able to field a strong team in the next
t20 World Cup. In this
t20 world cup, the
indian team which was led by
rohit sharma was highly expected to win the trophy. Batting first against
england in the semi-final,
india scored 168 runs in 20 overs.
rahul (5), Rohit (27 runs off 28 balls), and
suryakumar yadav (14) were disappointed in the
indian team who batted first.
virat kohli (50 runs off 40 balls) and
suryakumar yadav (63 runs off 33 balls) made the
indian team score 168 runs in 20 overs.
england openers Jos Buttler and
alex Hales scored a target 169 runs. The
indian team was defeated by 10 wickets without being able to take a single wicket from that team. What was worrying was the way the
indian team looked.
Captain
rohit sharma expressed regret and displeasure after the match that the
indian bowlers did not bowl well. Winning and losing are normal in sports. But the
indian team's performance was the worst. But the bowling alone cannot be blamed. Coach
rahul dravid pointed out that he should have scored 15-20 more runs in the batting. One of the reasons for this defeat is the playing eleven combinations chosen by the
indian team. Despite wrist spinners performing well in all teams,
chahal was not given a chance in the playing eleven. Ashwin also struggled to take wickets in the middle overs. Even so,
chahal was not given a chance. Ashwin scored 27 runs in 2 overs in today's semi-final as well. Axar
patel also contributed 30 runs in 4 overs. Senior fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and
shami also took a terrible beating.
This massive defeat by the
indian team has indeed raised the question of the strength of the team. Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill,
prithvi Shah, Sanju Samson, and
shreyas iyer are lined up, so it is believed that the senior players of the
indian team can be sidelined in
t20 cricket and a team with all young players can be built under the captaincy of
hardik Pandya.
Similarly, Sehwag also expressed the same opinion. In this
world cup, Sehwag insisted that the senior players who did not perform well should be sidelined and the team should be built with young players. Speaking about this,
virender sehwag said that he doesn't want to see some players in the next
t20 world cup series. The 2007
t20 world cup featured only young players without any senior players. So there is no expectation that they will definitely win the trophy. That pressure is not on the team. The young team played well and won the World Cup. He would like to see a similarly young team for the next
t20 World Cup. Considering the future of the team, the team should be built with young players accordingly. Sehwag said that if the same players play in the next
world cup, the result will be the same.
