Description

India surrendered the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after seven years following a disappointing campaign that concluded in Sydney. The team unravelled after their loss in Melbourne, and Jasprit Bumrah’s absence denied them the opportunity to push for a series-levelling win in Sydney.

Is it fair to point fingers at individuals? Or is this a collective failure of the Indian team?

Yes, Rohit Sharma was poor both with the bat and as captain. Virat Kohli lacked the spark that once made him a Test cricket great. The two senior batters failed to step up when the team needed them the most.

But if we criticise the batters for their failures in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, why should the coaches escape scrutiny?

Under Gautam Gambhir, it has been all talk and no action. Why was his coaching staff unable to address the team’s technical troubles?

With India’s hopes of reaching the World Test Championship final now extinguished, is it time to begin the transition process? Should India wait until the England tour in June to make the tough decisions?

In the latest episode of the Sledging Room Podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Saurabh Kumar, and Kingshuk Kusari discuss India’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy failure.
