What is the Indian Test team?

The first Test in Headingley is just a bitter bullet to swallow India’s defeat in England. Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant with the scoring tons .. India managed to fly the match from a state of extreme strength. In our last 9 matches (3 vs NZ, 5 vs. AUS, and 1 vs Ang), we have managed to win just one clash, that too in Perth.

South Africa has also won 8, Australia 6, England 5, New Zealand 4, Pakistan 3, Sri Lanka 3, West Indies 2, and Bangladesh 2. That statue is related, as well as dangerous. But why the test team is failing so suddenly. In 2024 November, he lost his first series at home in more than a decade, then not maintained BGT? What is the Indian Test team? Is this batting, bowling or fielding?

Poor fielding, poor grip

Catch you win the match; India never took it seriously, it seems. Let us not go too far and consider only Leeds test. India demolished some seates. Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped four catches in the match. Very safe Ravindra Jadeja also slipped a couple with a difficult chance for pants. In fact, Bumrah dropped one on his bowling.

Harry Brook, during his first innings, was left once at 0, then in 40 and then in the 60s. He eventually made 99. Ben Docket was re -abandoned by Jaiswal in the second in 98, which went to England to win it for England. Fielding was also very casual. There was an example where the hosts needed 80-years, and Shardul slipped during fielding, woke up in time, as the batsmen stole three. Therefore, with poor fielding, poor catching, India definitely looks ordinary.

Ineffective tail

We are not talking about all-rounders, but pure bowlers across the world, just a little walking and scoring some valuable runs for the team. This aspect is missing with the Indian team. Bumrah, Siraj, and let’s take Prasad Krishna for now – all are poor batsmen, who can not just add any runs.

Look at teams like Australia. Pat Cummins has an average of 17 on average with BAT, Stark 20.50, Hazelwood 12, and Leon 12. This current England side, Vox average 26, cars 19.33, Josh tongue 10, and Shoaib Bashir 7. Therefore, this is another difference that needs to be filled.

All round dilemma

Shardul Thakur is not an all -rounder and we tried to play him as one. As a result, he failed with the bat twice, and was not given enough over for the bowl. There is a lack of an all -rounder who has a serious rapid coalition seriously in India. Nitish Kumar Reddy was impressive with the bat in Australia, but very rarely bowled, and was not just effective.

Only effective players have been Ravindra Jadeja, who have scored 1103 runs at an average of 29 and have taken 57 wickets in 28 matches. India needs some more quality players. And if someone argues, we have the choice of Exer Patel, Tanush Kotian and Washington Sundar, those leads need to be given opportunities.

Lack of trust in domestic players?

Is the management a little uncertain about trying domestic artists? At least it appears. Yes, Karun Nair is back after 8 years, and Sai Reformson has been given a chance very quickly, but what is the players who have been playing so well in Ranji for years. There is a certain Sarfaraz Khan, which has been dropped without trying in Australia .. Then Abhimanyu Ishvaran, who is picked up in the squad, is just a reserved opener.

No stability in the team

It seems that only players need to be replaced after a bad game. There are many new players who have come in, and some of them have already disappeared. Since 2023-23, 9 players have made their debut and some of them have already disappeared from the scene.

Sarfaraz Khan has been dropped, silver Patidar is not completely in setup. Then if we go ahead, Mukesh Kumar has disappeared, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and KS India looks old. Therefore, some stability needs to be there.
