Millions of fans' dreams got dashed and prayers came to nothing as Team India got crushed in under the juggernaut of England in the T-20 World Cup semifinals. Now inside talk is men in blue are set to face the music and India's failure will definitely have its repercussions as cricket lovers are expressing their anger and demanding a complete overhaul of the team. Even BCCI officials added that in a couple of years, many seniors in the team will be phased out.
This Many expected that Rohit Sharma'sanointment to captaincy will bring home the cup as he powered Mumbai Indians to record five titles in the IPL. Rohit Sharma and the new coach Rahul Dravid went on talking about a changed approach, going out all guns blazing from the top order. But in the world cup, the team selection in all the matches baffled everyone. The persistence of KL.Rahul became a burden as the team management couldn't ignore him as he was the vice-captain and not playing Harshal Patel who shone in the IPL as a death-over specialist shocked all. Rohit Sharma failed to take off and when the captain fails, it affects the team.
Rohit Sharma's statement that no one can teach players how to handle pressure applies even to him. Indian team's players' morale is down and after the crushing defeat, they are unable to cope with the situation. Fans are demanding accountability and it has to be seen whether BCCI officials for all the talk will ever walk the talk.
