Ravi Patki, Mumbai : T20 World Cup 2022 is just a month away. The first match of India is like the final match. Team India’s World Cup campaign will start on 23 October against Pakistan (India vs Pakistan) in Melbourne. The match house is full. But since the popularity of T20 is immense, all the matches of India are going to be watched with great interest.

Team India won the 2013 Champions Trophy in England. But after that Team India could not win a single ICC tournament. The Indian team reached the semi-finals of different types of White Ball World Cup in 2015, 2016, 2019.
When cricket is a financial superpower, this graph of India at the global level is not remarkable. India did well in the bilateral series. But progress in ICC tournaments has been slow. The important reason behind this is that performance in the IPL was considered a measure of the performance of the players. Although the IPL has been a wildly successful tournament, it would be bold to call it the highest by the standards. With each team having 4 overseas players, all matches played on Indian pitches and the weather conditions limit the risk to the players.
If you look at the selected World Cup team this time, you will find that many players are established in the international game. So all set up in IPL. Dinesh Karthik was part of India’s first international T20 team (2006). That is, his international T20 age is 16 years.
Ashwin and Kohli are 12-12 years old. It’s been 10 years for Bhuvneshwar. Other players are 5 to 7 years old. IPL age of many players is more than 10 years. So all these players are installed. His life is fixed.
His major contracts are fixed for the next IPL season. Now the question is, how will the self-talk of such safe players play out an ICC event? To win this trophy with your life, to make a name in history, to use experience to play smart cricket, to win matches no matter how much stress comes, there is no worry in life. Now there is nothing to prove, then there will be self talk like enjoying the game and winning trophy or playing within your limits, why is there so much trouble, we are ready, all happiness is rolling in, why bother?
Rohit had said in a press conference a few days ago, “We have played well in the last ten years. Now this additional factor is a strong will and a little special talent which is required in this competition. Both of these have been felt.
There is a slight difference between experienced and established. Installs can be a bit careless. It’s not like he’ll put in his extra effort. As the Indian players are established, they cannot be reassured. Also the team’s experiments go on till the end. So it seems that even the team management is not sure of the right combination till the end. The push of 2019 for Vijay Shankar, the game with Dinesh Karthik are examples of that.
What 11 young players from Sri Lanka can do with a combination of inspiration and talent. It has recently been displayed in the Asia Cup. Will having Indian team be a curse or a boon?
