As we see crowds return to Cricket especially Test cricket in the recently concluded England vs New Zealand Test series where the hosts England were completely outplayed & outclassed by the Kiwis. Its a perfect way for them to head into the historic ICC WTC Finals that kicks off from June 18th.
This episode is mainly focused on looking back on what has been a truly inspiring period for Indian Cricket since 2018 where they have dominated pretty much every series barring the ICC Cricket World, 2019. Virat Kohli's men have earned their right to play in the first ever ICC WTC Finals.
And owing to COVID, India had to send a separate set of players to take on Sri Lanka from July 13th onwards. Led by Shikhar Dhawan, it features six uncapped players and despite that the people you will hear in this episode, our very own co-host of Cricket Unplugged Sooraj and my mate and respected TM member Mayur Shivakumar echo my thoughts that this Indian team can beat Sri Lanka!
Talk about an abundance of top quality resources, and India is reaping in the aftermath of having so many top quality players who could walk into a full strength Indian team too! The future of Indian Cricket is certainly bright and many experts feel this team could be as dominating and imposing as the Windies were under Clive Lloyd were or the Aussies under Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting's leadership!
Well, only time will tell how true or right those comparisons are but one thing is certain; Indian Cricket is going through a golden phase under Virat Kohli's captaincy and we three are reflecting on what has been and also looking forward to ICC WTC Finals, Indias tour of SL and a lot more!
Enjoy!
