Indian cricket continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. Following their defeat in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, the team has been under scrutiny for their excuses and damage control tactics.
Many have criticized the team for their poor performances in International Cricket Council (ICC) tournaments, despite talented players like Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Virat Kohli.
The recent Test loss saw Gill become Topic No. 1, as many claimed he was given out unfairly. However, the TV replay has its limitations, and there is no room for complaint.
Coach Rahul Dravid has also expressed his unhappiness with the cramped schedule, but this has been a common issue for Indian cricket for over a decade.
The team’s next challenge is the World Test Championship, which begins with two away Tests in the West Indies. However, many senior players are opting out of the tour, as West Indies cricket is not as competitive as it used to be.
New players like Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, Ishan Kishan, and KS Bharat are being touted as potential replacements, but the final team will depend on who decides to go on the tour.
Although the cricket scene in India is constantly evolving, many fans are disappointed with the team’s ongoing excuses and failure to perform in international tournaments. It remains to be seen whether the team can bounce back and regain their former glory.
