Controversial opinion - Indian youngsters are over glorified and over hyped except maybe Pant. Haven't seen Gill play a single decent innings and a shot towards off side in the recent IPL. He looked like a rabbit in the headlights against Anderson in India in the sweltering heat of Amdavad. Sundar is going to end up as a typical average Tamil Nadu player - million chances and nothing to write home about except an assault or two over Rubel Hussain. Jaiswals, Padikkals, Shaws are average IPL hacks and will do ziilch in real cricket. 

Why shouldn't the set of youngsters, who won a series in Australia and breached the fortress Gabba, be rated highly. 

 

That last statement is laughable. What exactly is the basis to predict 20-21 year olds youngsters, who have made impressive starts to their domestic career, will have no future?

Lol Indian wrist slitters will say this;

 

1) competition is weaker now

2) India are too affluent apparently. 

3) India have too much resources allegedly

4) paks are weak now

5) Zimbabwe is weak now

 

 

*ing bullshit. 

 

All top sides are as strong as ever. Strong era now. N.z is in its peak form. Would wipe out any version of Pakistani side outside u.a.e. 

 

England are easily one of the strongest sides at the moment. They have plenty of depth in all rounders. 

 

Aussies are always strong at home. Because India beat them they don't magically become weak.

Although Inzi's & other ex Pakistani players statement is nothing but clickbait. 

England have done this many times & they still do it almost regularly & field different teams.  Barring against top sides like India & Aus. 

Australia recently did this vs NZ in T20Is & I remember vs lankans just before BGT 2017.

So No big deal about it.  We actually should have done it sooner.

What Inzi said is true to some extent. India's current bench strength is as good as Australia's of 2000s if not better. 

 

Now don't confuse quantity with quality. Australia dominated the way it did in 2000s because it had 7-8 ATG players playing at the same time. They hardly used to debut youngsters the way we do now (coz they didn't need them). 

 

Currently we aren't as dominant as AUS of 2000s because we have fewer ATG players as them. But our bench strength might be as good as them. It's no joke winning in Australia, dominating Asian teams with your B team.
