What should India do to bounce back from the series of away defeats?

Fortunately, India have been recently losing all of their away games on a consistent basis, and it is feared that the time will come when the Men in Blue will forget how to win away from home. Oh, it should have been ‘UN’fortunately rather than fortunately.

It is a serious concern for the BCCI to see their team consistently losing away from home. India recently suffered their second test loss of their Australian tour in as many games and the time has come for its board to sit down and decide the future of Indian
cricket.

Apparently, the current Indian team looks fragile and there is not much time in the hands of Indian captain, Mahinder Singh Dhoni, to settle matters when the team are just a day away from the third test at Perth. What Indian team can do at the max is to
play the test cricket like they play the ODI or T20’s as it is the only way which could give India some first inning runs.

A big question which has taken the cricketing world by storm is that if a player like Virat Kohli could be included in the test team than why not Rohit Sharma, who is a much better player at this level? Apart from changing their style to play test cricket,
Indian team must throw Kohli out of the test team, and bring in much cooler Rohit Sharma.

Apart from these two steps, the slim and smart Indian cricketers like Praveen Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Wriddhiman Saha and Pragyan Ojha also need to change their diet, and start taking ‘daal-chawal’ as does Dhoni’s deputy, Virendar Sehwag.  Evan though, Sehwag
has not been at his best so far in this tour, but it is believed that the ‘Daal-Chawal’ effect could inspire the Indian team prior to going into the third test.

However, if the Men in Blue are still unaffected by this diet than one thing that could save the face of Indian cricket is to only make them play at home and win trophies like IPL and the Champions League. If ICC are unable to implement these rules especially
for the Indian team, we might see one test playing nation removed from the cricketing world and who wouldn’t want this to happen!
