Hero-worshipping purpose behind India's generational slump in checks: Manjrekar
Former india cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has blamed the lifestyle of hero-worshipping in the back of India's awful stoop in check cricket. In his recent column in Hindustan times, Manjrekar wrote that the stoop that the indian group is dealing with is not anything new.
the previous player highlighted that india confronted a comparable slump back in 2011-12 as well, dropping zero-eight to england and australia underneath the management of MS Dhoni.
Manjrekar termed the present day lapse in form below the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, a generational droop. india misplaced lower back to again series below the management of Rohit Sharma. First india lost their first ever home series against new zealand (zero-three) at domestic and then fell to australia 1-three away. Manjrekar pointed out the motive behind the losses and stated that the icon-gamers were dragging the indian crew.
"India are a sought-after cricket crew that the arena wants to eagerly host. They play a lot of matches in SENA (South Africa, england, new zealand, Australia) countries, so it's far truthful to be judged to the very best requirements. This 'generational hunch' is inevitable for all groups. it's what we know because the transition phase and some of the nice teams within the world, I believe it influences india the most," Manjrekar wrote in his column.
"the only foremost reason behind that is the icon way of life we've in india and the hero worship of certain players. Be it 2011-12 or now, it is the equal situation that receives played out -- iconic players providing prominently doing the alternative of what they did their entire careers, thereby dragging the group down with their faded performances," he added.
Manjrekar mentioned the examples of sachin tendulkar and VVS Laxman, who had failed within the transition length of 2011-12, and in comparison their fortuned with virat kohli and
Rohit Sharma, who truely have now not turned up inside the final 2 collection for India
.
"whilst india lost 0-eight to england and australia, Tendulkar averaged 35, Sehwag 19.ninety one and Laxman 21.06. most effective Dravid stood out and were given runs in england (he averaged 76.83) but in australia he too turned into given a harsh reality test (he averaged 24.25)," Manjrekar stated.
"component is, when it comes to the massive players,
we as a rustic are just no longer able to stay rational
. feelings run high and people in positions to take selections on those players are inspired by this weather. Cricketing common sense is going out of the window and then the selectors hope the participant leaves on his very own so they do not look like the villains who brutally ended the profession of a outstanding who thousands and thousands of fans worship. They just fear the backlash," the former batter concluded on the matter.
