WRONG METHOD

India media and fans are very upset over the performance of Team India in the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand. Team India has lost their first match despite making 300 plus score. All of a sudden everything is going haywire for the team. Indian bowlers are facing the heat. There was a time when India had a great pool of fast bowlers, but for the past one year, India is seen struggling for bowlers. There is something wrong in their method of preparing and preserving pacers for sure. I feel something is wrong with the management. I don’t know how the selection process works in India. I feel we should stop investing on senior players now.

Time has come to include fresh legs in the side else Indian cricket will not be able to improve. I feel Hardik Pandaya should be made captain in T20 and ODI format because Rohit Sharma has been struggling with his own form for more than a year. Rohit looks clueless in the field. He has failed to show his presence in the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup. He looks physically tired and exhausted. Rohit should be made captain for Test matches. He is already 34 years old, can’t manage shorter version of the game. We have seen it many a times, that Rohit has failed. With Rohit, K.l.rahul, Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shikhar Dhawan and many such players should be given rest and asked to play in the domestic circuit now. Fresh players should be included in the side. We have Sanju Sampson, Surya Kumar Yadav, Shubman Gill,

Umran Mallik, Shahbaz Ahmed who can be a beter option for ODI and T20. Time has come to take quick decision.
