After the New Zealand series, senior players of Team India have come under the target of fans. Many veterans are also raising questions on his poor performance. In this series, Team India flopped in every department. Neither the batsmen could show their magic nor the bowlers were successful in home conditions, due to which India had to face a 3-0 defeat in this series. Especially Indian batting is being criticized the most at this time. In fact, our batsmen were seen struggling a lot against the spinners who could not face them. A big revelation has come to light as to why the last Indian player got trapped in his own strong side this time.
Big revelation on senior players of Team India
According to the report of Indian Express, before the domestic Test season, the selectors wanted the senior players of Team India to play in the Duleep Trophy. In fact, after the victory of the ICC T20 World Cup in June, senior Indian players got a break of one month. In such a situation, the selectors had planned to make all the top players available for the Duleep Trophy, which was held from September 5 to September 22 in Bengaluru and Anantapur, so that they could get practice for some matches before the domestic Test season. But the senior players refused to do so, as a result of which the Indian players got stuck in their own home conditions.
According to the report, all the senior players including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had initially agreed to play in the Duleep Trophy. But later some players decided to withdraw their names and took part in the series without any practice. When players like Sharma, Kohli, Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah did not take part in the Duleep Trophy, the selectors decided to release Ravindra Jadeja, who had agreed to play in the domestic tournament.
Haven’t played domestic cricket for a long time
Let us tell you, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were complete flops in this home season. The biggest reason for this was that he failed to study his own home condition. A big reason behind this is that both these players have not played domestic cricket for a long time. Rohit has not played any Ranji Trophy match since 2015. At the same time, Kohli has not played any match since 2012. Duleep Trophy was a good opportunity for both these players, but they decided to take a break, which cost the team a lot.
