The Indian cricket team is under criticism following the desire to become the world test kings has been dashed. In the first championship, the title was destined to go to New Zealand, but this time it was tied ahead of Australia. It is clear that the team and the management did not learn from the last defeat.
Although he is a world-class batter, I.C.C. Trophies are alien which forced Virat Kohli to leave the captaincy of the most glamorous team in the world of cricket. IPL Rohit Sharma, who was appointed as the captain in the crowning glory, was also destined to lose his head in another final.
Rumor has it that Rohit’s decision as captain will depend on the team’s performance in the ODI World Cup, which will be staged in the country in a few months. Surrendering to the Aussies at the Oval has hardly angered the Indian cricket bosses as much.
But there were not a few people who had judged that India, who is chasing the misfortune of losing their footing in the big tournament, is unlikely to win the World Test title this time as well even before the first game. Cricket experts are listing the reasons for the defeat from the team selection to the injuries of the players.
ICC Missing the trophy
India’s last ICC title was in 2013 when they won the Champions Trophy. The crowning achievement. The same performance seen in subsequent tournaments was repeated by India at the Oval as Australia took the title.
The ICC held following the Champions Trophy was crowned. India has reached the semi-finals or finals in eight of the tournaments. The team had a meeting to break eight of these. Even though the Maharathas were captains, the crown was alienated. Oval witness that even if the head changes, the fate does not change!
Toss is lucky and unlucky
Both the teams wanted the fortune to be favorable at the Oval. The captain’s eyes were on the cloudy sky. Rohit has the decision following the volatile exchange rate. He chose fielding without a second thought. The Aussie captain Pat Cummins also opened his mind that even though he was lucky, the decision would not be the other way around, and the Indian team and fans got hope.
In the fourth over, opener Usman Khawaja was dismissed by Mohammad Siraj, and India’s hopes were dashed. Later, the opponents were reduced to 76 for three, but the joy and hope did not dissipate in front of the performance of Travis Head and Steven Smith in the middle order. In the first innings of the Aussies, who advanced past four hundred, India might be happy and proud only when they were able to wrap up the tail end quickly.
Aussies are lucky to lose the toss
Australia must have thought they were lucky to lose the toss when they scored 469 runs in the first innings. And there they half won. Smith and Head’s batting helped the Aussies outpace India on their way to the title.
India is humbled by the injury
India lost three regular players in the Indian Test team due to injuries. The absence of Jasprit Bumrah, who was spearhead in bowling, is important in that.
At the other end, the bowling gap between the two teams narrowed following Josh Hazelwood withdrew injured at the last minute. Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Scott Boland, but Shardul, Umesh and to some extent Mohammad Shami showed a good performance and became crucial in Australia’s victory.
The Indian strategy of four pacers failed. Umesh and Shardul took only four wickets in the entire match. With this, the entire burden fell on Shami and Siraj. Both of them showed a flawless performance by taking nine of the total 18 Aussie wickets.
Wicket keeper Rishabh Pant was out in bat but fought back. The lack of Ball in the middle order, who has the ability to turn the tide of the competition on his own in foreign soil, became a problem. The absence of Shreyas Iyer, another regular in the middle order, was replaced by veteran player Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane almost kept his place in the team as India’s top scorer in the match in the second innings.
Bowlers win
The performance of all five bowlers helped the Aussies on their way to the title. While pacers won nine wickets in India’s first innings, single spinner Nathan Lion shone with four wickets in the second innings.
The performance of Scott Boland, who replaced Hazelwood in the final eleven, was also crucial. This thirty-four-year-old pacer took five crucial wickets in the entire match conceding 105 runs.
Australia will not forget Boland’s spell of dismissing Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in one over in India’s second innings; and India. India’s defeat at the Oval is also an indication that the time has come to field new pacers in Test cricket.
Kneeling Front
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma’s assessment that the batsmen’s lack of color was one of the reasons for the defeat is right in every sense. Shubman Gill and indeed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have moved from the hype of IPL to the longest level of cricket, have lost their dream of a great start.
Cheteshwar Pujara, who has reached the peak and age of county cricket, was also beaten at the Oval. In the entire match, the four players scored a total of 193 runs. Had it not been for Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur’s half-centuries in the first innings, India’s situation would have been more dire.
It was the leading batsmen who dug a grave for India, despite getting off to a flawless start.
K.S. who showed good performance in wicket keeping. But Bharat disappointed with the batting. Australia, on the other hand, cannot claim a good start with the batting. But they had a Smith and a Head to help them. Wicket keeper Alex Carey, who came seventh, scored 48 and 66 runs in two innings and decided the course of the match.
Poor team selection
ICC The decision not to include Ravichandran Ashwin, who is the first in the ranking of Test bowlers, in the last eleven was also a humiliation for India. The team selection panel included four pacers and one spinner. India failed to realize that as the match progressed, the green oval pitch would become less humid and favor spin.
Ashwin was a more effective weapon once morest the Aussies, who had five left-handers. The player with five Test centuries would have added depth to the batting line-up. Rohit and the team management were not ready to consider Peruma, who shone with 61 wickets in India’s 13 matches in the 2021-23 World Test Championship. The action of removing one of the players who secured the team’s final entry in the final has angered and surprised even the previous players.
Blame it all on IPL
India’s failure at the Oval has been cited as the main reason for India’s failure to adapt to the fast pace of Twenty20 cricket to Tests. Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli were in terrific form during the two-month-long children’s cricket frenzy. But neither might repeat it at the Oval. The status of other stars was not different. IPL Perhaps the only batsman who did justice to the performance was Ajinkya Rahane.
Among the bowlers, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj and to some extent Ravindra Jadeja also showed a flawless performance. IPL The fatigue that was assigned affected the players. On the other hand, only David Warner and Cameron Green played in the IPL. Others were preparing for the World Test final. The advantage of being fresh in every sense was reflected in Australia’s performance.
