The result of the Test series in South Africa shocked the Indian cricket fans. The 0-2 defeat was unexpected. The fans are not able to digest seeing our batting order collapsing and losing the series in just two Tests. Team India, which has roared like a tiger at home and abroad for many years… It is really sad to lose so hopelessly.
Hopes on the ODI series… New breath with the arrival of Rohit and Kohli
The Test series is over, now the White-ball battle is about to begin. The ODI series is a good opportunity to make up for the loss in Tests and re-instill confidence in the team. The return of senior stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to the team at this difficult time is a big relief for the fans. Everyone feels that their experience is now working like ‘medicine’ for the team.
KL Rahul as captain… changes in the team
On the other hand, with young sensation Shubman Gill ruled out of the team due to injury, some changes are inevitable in the top order. In these circumstances, KL Rahul took over as captain. Young players are ready to show their potential. However, administrators and coaches need to take tough decisions to put the team on the right track.
Will the ‘ro-co’ pair do the magic?
We can’t forget that Rohit and Virat supported the team with a wonderful partnership in the previous tour of Australia. Now the fans are hoping that the same magic will be repeated in South Africa. Both of them need to not only make runs, but also to re-instill the confidence and courage lost in the dressing room.
If Team India is to get out of the pain of defeat and get back to winning ways… Rohit and Kohli must answer with their bat in this ODI series!
