Once a cricket player from india said that India has class players. Atleast 3 national level team can be made and all three will be champion team. But recent results from icc tournament disagree with these statement. India has been struggling since 2013 to win a single ICC trophy from T20 wc and Odi wc.
Last Sunday India's team faced Australian team in U19 world cup. Indian team played like champion throughout the tournament and didn't lose any match. But the final was again like nightmare for India. Australia won final by 79 runs. But what has been the reason that India didn't looks comfortable in big stages?
From coaches to players - everything works fabulous but collapses in semis or finals. Experts believes India loses because of lack of ability to handle pressure. If we compare the recent team with world cup winning team of 2011 and 1983, later is full of young players who is considered as key player. The ability to these player to resist pressure during high voltage match was not up to mark.
The very second reason has been the preparation for ICC tournaments. MS Dhoni had prepared 4 year earlier with his team to face WC 2011. This long window of time have opportunity to those players to make themselves fit for every situation. Examples are Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni. They handled their situation according to required and drag India to the trophy.
The 1983 WC gave first great experience for Indian cricket fans. Reason was again the best capacity for players to handle pressure.
Some also criticises India that this team looks too busy in IPL. There is need to give players full time to prepare for the big tournament.
