Vk1 Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Was just checking VK dob and then went on to check others as well.. and saw this pattern.. Sachin/ Dravid/ Saurav/ VVS.. all born in the same periods ( 1973/74 ).. then there is a long gap of 6 years or so before our next superstars are born - Yuvraj / MSD -1981 .. ( Sehwag though officially born in 78.. ) again a gap of 6 years or so for Rohit / Kohli to emerge ( 1987/ 1988 ).. Raina/ Shikhar in 85 but havent got the superstar status for India ( Raina definitely for CSK ).. KLR -92 has to break this pattern.. next probable batch in Gill/ Shaw born in 1999.. 10 years after rohit/kohli.. Is it that those very good batsman born just after superstars find it hard to reach to the next level due to weight of comparisons / expectations? Edited November 25, 2020 by Vk1 raki05 1
Serpico Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Well it's hard to break into a settled team. All those batsmen born between 74 to 81 would've spent their peak years in domestics so never had chance to be stars Vickydev 1
