'Indian cricket is in very dangerous hands' - Fans troll Rohit Sharma for his remarks on Indian bench strength

The duo of captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid were seen experimenting with the playing of the Indian team frequently in the last couple of matches. Basically, they are focusing on the end of their long wait for the T20 World Cup win. India won the title of the T20 World Champions 15 years back in the year 2007.

But since then, they haven’t won the title in any edition of the T20 World Cup. Last year, they couldn’t qualify for the knock-outs as Pakistan and New Zealand defeated the men in blue in the group stage. Following that, Virat Kohli & co got eliminated from the tournament.

Although, things will be changed for the Indian team in this year’s T20 World Cup. It is because due to the fact that the core leadership has changed with time. Now, the senior batter will be leading the team in the tournament whereas Rahul Dravid will be there to replace the former coach Ravi Shastri in T20 World Cup.
