It only shows how mediocre the new generation batsmen are. The fact that Indian batsman used to handle Murali, Warne well and now struggling against Harmer, santer further prove my point.
Lol at root facing tougher bowlers. Has Root ever faced a single spinner as good as Warne, Murli, Saqlain. Besides, Sachin played in an era in which bowl tampering, chucking was allowed!
How any one can defend Gambhir is beyond me. He is Greg Chappell 2.0. Every apprehension we had before his appointment as a coach has come true. White wash after white wash at home. Even first round exit in 2007 world cup was more respectful than this. He has to go.
It is because of team environment. Just like under Greg Chappell all legends were under performing. Just replace Gambhir with dravid/ shastri and see them performing again.
Kohli is not a burden in ODIs like he was in test. Had a good champions trophy. Should be persisted with. However he needs to play domestics.
Rohit had a great game in CT final, but he neither has age, nor fitness in his side. So he should retire gracefully.
Strange thread. Bumrah had a very unique action, which produce a lot of stress on his body. His bowling can't be compared to likes of stokes. He is all format bowler and our chances in 2027 World cup heavily depends on him.
And we saw how rohit bowled him to dust in Australia and what happened thereafter.
