Mains 2021 Result declared - In or Out?

The Indian team management is all about getting half-baked players in the team...back in 2005..if a player had under-performed..his 2007 world cup chances would had been cut.

But now what I see is pure contractualisation. All they play for $$$. They sacrifice their bodies for IPL. Kohli has lost his flicks because of the injuries he has sustained. 

Now Ipl-accha-hai support brigade will attack me, saying that "iPl hAs GiVeN us ManY gUd plAyerz".

this is precisely the problem, many good players but NOT ONE great player since 2015 WC. Since 2019 WC there have been so many players like Shankar, Shardul, Shivam Dubey,blah blah.

The board now wants to select a Bunch of players with some fixed seniors to win small matches but no big tournament.

Dhoni inspired through his demeanor, Kohli through his aggression but KL Rahul seems absent on the field..just like a Yogi watching the play from some distance.. His Kxip captaincy is also on stake.

A day will come, dear Guys and Gals, that IPL will be organised in parallel with World Cup. That day will come.

"Lack of captaincy record or nous no barrier as marketability is crucial factor now"
