New DelhiAfter losing two consecutive tests, there is a stir in the Indian camp. Big decisions are being taken and it is being decided that they should be implemented. Everyone will have to follow the new guidelines issued by the team management, whether it is a player who has played 1 Test match or 100. Strict action will be taken against those who do not follow these rules. Diwali holidays have been canceled in Team India and the team will celebrate the festival in the hotel itself.
After losing the Pune Test match, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and K Rahul had come to their families in Mumbai and from there they had to go to the practice session. According to the new guidelines of team management, it was made mandatory for everyone to stay in the team hotel and the practice session to be held on 30-31. The instructions are very clear and this is also for big names like Rohit and Virat. Team India's batting depends a lot on these two players. However, both these players proved unsuccessful against spin in the Pune Test. No player will be exempted from this practice session. This has also been done because Team India has lost after 18 consecutive series.
A defeat has pushed Team India towards the old basics of cricket. Till the Pune Test, it used to be that the team management used to keep the option of optional training to keep the players fresh before the match. In which if any player wants to participate then he can come. Whereas if someone is not in the mood then he can also miss it. But after the series defeat against New Zealand, now a mandatory training session has been kept for comeback. However, this can be seen as a good sign because in both the test matches, the Indian batsmen were neither able to play seam nor spin and in such a situation, if the team sweats together after going to the nets then who knows, it may change the result in Mumbai a bit.
