Yes, you may wonder what type of title “What’s wrong in Indian Cricket?” is, but the truth is that Indian cricket has been in a slump for the past one to two years. While they were consistently tipped as favorites before the main event, they eventually faltered in crucial elimination matches.
The most recent example is the performance of Men in Blue during the T20 World Cup in 2021 and Asia Cup in 2022, where India was unable to get past the group stage of the prestigious event.
With the most recent situation, Jaspreet Bumrah was almost forced to withdraw from the T20 world cup, and India would suffer greatly as a result as we sorely missed his services in the recently finished Asia Cup 2022.
It’s still unclear how the Indian team management communicates, and occasionally the team’s selections don’t make sense—for example, Shami wasn’t thought to be talented enough to compete in the future T20 World Cup in 2022.
Shami ought to take Bumrah’s position if he is unable to compete in the main event since he has recovered from COVID-19. Additionally, the main squad does not have someone like Ravi Bishnoi, who performed admirably against Pakistan under pressure, and Chahal, an experienced player, has been given the nod to join the main squad.
The manner Virat Kohli stepped down as captain was one by one, especially in the Test format where India put up an amazing show and played in the World Test Championship Finals 2021, losing to the New Zealanders.
The majority of news you would see in various media sites that comes from the management of the Indian Team does not cite the source directly; instead, the source’s identity has been kept anonymous.
We mostly discussed the bowling talent produced by the IPL, but as soon as we learned that Bumrah would not be participating in the T20 World Cup, we started working on a replacement who could handle the pressure of the World Cup.
Overall, if you look at how events have played out over the past 12 to 24 months, the lack of clarity shows that something is wrong with Indian cricket.
