Team India After Five Years: What the Future Holds

Team India after 5 years (1)

Team India is always in the spotlight because of the quality of players India produces every year. It is because of the same reason team India is known for its ability to score wins in any difficult situation. In every major ICC tournament, team India has left an impact with its brilliance and the quality of cricket in every aspect of the game. The first World Cup win in 1983 came as a big hope for the young generation of Indian cricket but the real change came in in the early years of 2000 under the leadership of Saurav Ganguly.

He not only bought aggression to the team but also opened the window for the young generation and got some of the best players on the international platform. Consistency became the key for team India and the men in blue started winning matches at the foreign pitches which looked almost impossible in the past.

After Saurav Ganguly, MS Dhoni took things into his hand and helped Team India to reach World Cup glory. The number of achievements Dhoni has under his belt is countless and his void can still be felt in Team India. Post Dhoni era has been a roller coaster ride and team India has made some big records with some amazing wins against big teams but we have failed to win a major ICC trophy in 9 years.

However, after Dhoni, Virat Kohli handled the leadership with brilliance and now it is time for Rohit Sharma to showcase his leadership skills. Both players are competent enough and had promising careers with Team India. However, their age is catching up and now the biggest question is what is next for Team India? Once Kohli and Sharma announce their last game, who will take their place and take things ahead for Team India? In this article, we have tried to answer these questions.

A New Leader with Similar Attributes but Higher Motivation

In the past year, Hardik Pandya has emerged as one name who can take over the leadership role. He stunned everyone by making his comeback in the last year’s IPL as the leader of Gujarat Titans and helped them to win the IPL trophy in their debut season. It is because of the same reason, BCCI and the selection committee decided to give more chances to Hardik Pandya to lead the team in the T20 format. Hardik is getting trained for the leadership role of team India for the ODI format as of now. He is known as a confident individual who remains calm and composed in pressured situations. There is a huge potential and Indian cricket fans can be dependent on Hardik Pandya to help India achieve new heights in international cricket.

Young Generation of Players

Once Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announce their retirement from international cricket, it will be next impossible to fulfill the void created in the team. It’s hard to find batters like them and players who can find positivity in any kind of situation. 

However, in the past year, Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, and Shreyas Iyer have shown some promising futures with the team. Shubman Gill has turned out to be the next big thing with his consistency in the ODI and T20 formats of the game. Ishan has got comparatively fewer chances to play but whenever he has been on the field, he has made headlines. 

Shreyas Iyer has become a crucial player for Team India in all the formats of the game and he is the most dependable batsman in the middle order. In the next 5 years, once some big names are missing from Team India, Yashaswi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma will be ready to fulfill the void created in the team. Both young players have shown a promising future in the recent IPL tournament.

Overall, it can be said that Team India in the next 5 years will witness some major changes but as Indian cricket fans, we should not worry because the future is in good hands.
