After the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, 5 ‘next gene’ stars that can take India forward

During his debut test against West Indies in 2011, Virat Kohli almost destroyed while talking about his struggles against Fidel Edwards. This was not the beginning of an ambitious youth. Instead of glory, there was anxiety and confusion. He said that a plain still interaction with a powerful message at Kingston Restaurant: “But Meen Chorunga Nahi (I won’t leave it)”. He did not leave the fight by killing the peaks between 2014 and 2019 that many modern day cricketers have not climbed.

As the cricket world, runs and centuries flowed, performed a miracle on a changing of a batting chromosome, which inspired India to win a memorable height and memorable victory in Test cricket.

However, this is a blueprint for some young batsmen, which has been tasked to dilute Indian cricket in Kohli and Rohit Sharma era.

Here is a wide eye on some of them:

Shubman Gill

Among the ‘Next Generation’ stars, Shubman Gill does not have more importance than India’s leading batsman and Test skipper.

Perhaps, this is a coincidence, but Gill finds himself as Kohli in the same place when he was at the age of 25 – with a middleing test record.

The Punjab man has played 32 Tests for 1893 runs at an average of 35.

But Gill will now go to England where his minor record is – 88 runs from three tests at an average of 14.66.

Can the Punjab man turn his magnificent senior into a walking around his luck in the old blight? Even without James Anderson and Stuart Broad, there are a competent motion unit in England and some easy spinners that sue home conditions.

Like Kohli, Gill will have to develop a tendency to bat close to his body to cover the swing, as well as bring it into his batting under the discipline of that iron heart.

Yashsvi Jaiswal

Jaiswal is sure to open an innings in England and has already worked in the West Indies, South Africa, Australia and India. But this work will be different and difficult on its first visit to England.

Jaiswal, while maintaining big runs in Australia and West Indies, showed his technology and patience at more than 80 average.

But as a batsman who loves the ball coming on his bat, Jaiswal will face a tough challenge in late swing in England.

He has to check his bouncy drive and raising cuts, focus more on the leaves and choose the right opportunity to attack.

This is not a technical change, but is a mental change and he can tear a page from Kohli’s playbook.

After a conflict in 2014, Kohli learned how to reject Anderson and Broad’s late swing in 2018, and he scored 593 runs out of five matches at an average of 59.

He can also refer to Sanjay Bangar and Rahul Dravid’s clippings in 2002, denying a clear swing in Leeds against Andrew Cadic and Matthew Hoggard.

Dhruv Jurall

At the age of 24, Jurael stands behind Rishabh Pant as the second wicket-keeper batsman. He was impressive in the first series against England, but could not make much impact against Australia.

Jurall has the required courage and skill level for being a long -term servant in Test cricket. He showed his skills in both the attack and defense, creating two fifties against Australia in an informal test ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy last year.

He prefers Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of a cricketer, who never goes away from the fight.

But maintaining it for a long period will be his main challenge.

B Sai Sudhrasan

Orthodox is his strength. He has a bright chance for England to make a touring squad, and his copybook batting could be useful in England, making him a quiet yin for Jaiswal’s more aggressive Yang.

The 23 -year -old good governance prefers to play on the ground on both sides with a straight bat, a quality that gives immense chance to succeed in England.

Granted footage by West Indian Great Viv Richards and Desmond Hens has taken England pacers such as Ian Bosh and John Snow to the ground for borders, is still available on YouTube, and it can be their reference material.

He also has the experience of playing for Surrey in county cricket.

Sarfaraz Khan

A 27 -year -old can make an attack as he launched an attack against New Zealand in Bengaluru last year. A man from Mumbai can also be asked to work on his fitness.

There is no doubt on Sarfaraz’s skills. But if he can take some signs from Kohli’s almost heroic fitness to keep his skills faster, Sarfaraz can revive the fate of his test.

Collective work

Now, there is no Kohli or Rohit Sharma to guide them, beat them, torture them or scold them. So, can boys avoid fighting and grow in all alone men? This will determine the brightness of his own and India’s cricket.
