Indian cricket is currently facing a challenging period, despite holding the top spot in the world rankings. The Men in Blue have suffered defeats in multiple ICC tournaments, including the T20 World Cup and the ICC Test Championship final against Australia. Australia claimed their first World Test Championship title with a convincing 209-run victory, leading to a wave of criticism from disappointed Indian fans on social media.
Rohit Sharma’s Honest Assessment:
Following the team’s failure in the final, captain Rohit Sharma delivered a candid speech, acknowledging that the team had been unable to convert promising partnerships into substantial ones. However, his statements have not appeased fans, and there is now a growing demand for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to remove him as the captain. Additionally, some fans are calling for both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to retire from the longer format of the game immediately. This debate has gained significant momentum on social media platforms since Sunday, capturing the attention of cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
The Rise of MS Dhoni:
In contrast to the criticism faced by Sharma and Kohli, many fans have been showering praise on former captain MS Dhoni, hailing him as the “Greatest of All Time.” Dhoni’s leadership saw India triumph in major ICC tournaments, including the T20 World Cup and the World Cup. Some fans are blaming Sharma and Kohli for their perceived prioritization of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the financial gains it brings, arguing that this has detracted from their dedication to the national team and the sport.
