Indian cricket team struggling before the world cup 2015
After a disastrous tour of Newzeland there was hope that India would do well in the Asia cup but now they are depending on other results which might go the Indians way. In yesterday match against the Pakistan the score of 245 was not good enough but the Indians gave their all and Shaid Afraidi heroics with the bat gave them the win. In the past four months both our batting and bowling has not clicked as a unit but i think India can comeback in this Asia cup and i hope in the coming matches the low ranked team can beat the higher rank sides.
In the ODI series against the South Africans the bowling and batting costs the matches but in test matches the batsman did well in the first 3 innings but in the fourth innings the team was not able to cope with the pressure of top quality bowling attack.In that series Rahane played well, Virat Kohli also scored well and Pujara played a crucial knock in second innings of first test but the main problems lies in our bowling be it spin or pace.Dhoni's capactincy overseas has been a problem and with the important tour of England and Australia coming up it is necessary for the Indian team to find bowlers and batsman which can win test matches abroad.
Coming to Newzeland ODI series the bowling was not up to mark. Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, R Jadeja, Ashwin played some vital innings. In the test matches there was opportunities for the team to win both test matches but was not able to capitalize on the chances and lost the test series 1-0.
In the current Asia cup India won the first match against Bangladesh but lost the matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, but anything can happen in cricket. The main problem has been the batting. So lets be optimistic and pray for the best.
Before the 2015 World Cup to be played in Australia and Newzeland they need to fix the bowling issues and also include Pujara in the playing 11 to provide some solidity in the middle. In the bowling front the Indian team must try Ishwar Pandey and I think before the world cup the Indians needs to have pool of bowlers who can bowl well and defend the world cup that they won in 2011.
