The Future of Indian Cricket

                              The Future of Indian Cricket

  Indian cricket team going through transition. India finds young cricketers like Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara.
Indian cricket team became world champion last year and all of us enjoyed that lovely moment. We respect our heroes who played for the pride of country and gave it their all. Unfortunately what happened afterwards was little unexpected and one might be surprised to see that champion side sitting at number 4 in tests  ( they were at number one ranking back than) and fluctuating between 2-3 in ODIs. Despite the fact that we have got worlds best batting line-up that might be at top in terms of experience, we have struggled on almost all tracks(cricket pitches). We (Indian cricket) never had great fast bowling combinations but our spin also disappeared from seen. In addition to this we play 7-4 combination that is less stable than 6-5.

  When we look back we can say that we were a good side that is no more at its best.
 Indian cricket team right now needs couple of genuine fast bowlers along with a quality all-rounder. Then only we can hope to see our side at the top for longer time periods. Indian cricket is enjoying ipl success right now, but as soon as we return back to international cricket we might need to search for answers for those questions that are still alive somewhere.India is power house of cricket right now and no Indian or other cricket fan/board can take the jolt of Indian teams failure.
Rahul Dravid - clean bold- a rare site  There have been some good promising cricket players but are somehow helpless in dealing with politics in cricket. The administration seems to have got a real clear politics of earning as much as they can by playing big names that pull Indian fans. With big names already being close to their retirement; the young need to be given some look-in into international cricket. Although we might say that Sachin Tendulkar and others are still going to be around, but for how long? no one knows. We are facing a transition in future and should try to go through it smoothly by starting as early as possible.
