I was watching a discussion between two famous English veteran cricketers yesterday. The discussion was focused on how badly the team batted and how bad captainship resulted in the cricket series loss. There was one point that almost every Indian might have forgotten after this incredible team won the fourth test: the Indian side lacked big names. It was a team of new players some of them were debutants and most of them did not have much test cricket experience. Except Rohit Sharma, Jadeja, and Ashwin the team had 8 new players, and considering a few all of them gave their best in the fourth test. In all probable scenarios, I think 3 or 4 players will become permanent in the Indian test squad and in the ODI squad.
It is what makes everyone looking into the outcome makes them realize that this is a new team. I doubt anyone here would have thout about it as the way you did it. Good analysis and it is something that we never understood as we were all going after the outcome. Another game and the end result is that the outcome favoured us as a team of young players.
