Here’s Why India Will Move On Sooner Than Expected From ‘Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli’

A young and inexperienced Team India is currently on tour against Zimbabwe and have lost the series opener in one of the biggest upsets recently.

Following their T20 World Cup triumph, India has returned to action with a T20I series against a spirited Zimbabwe side. Almost all the main team players have been rested for this tour, while three stalwarts—Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja—have retired from the format. Andy Flower, the former Zimbabwe captain and current RCB head coach, discussed his expectations for the five-match series.

“This India-Zimbabwe series is going to be really interesting. It’s a very strong side the Indian selectors have put out. All these guys have not only shown a lot of talent in the IPL but also have the attitude required to play international cricket. There are readymade replacements for the guys who’ve retired, even though they are genuinely great cricketers. The strong domestic structure in India means there will always be readymade replacements. It’s certainly nothing to be scared of. India will keep producing these greats. There is always someone ready to come in. Whenever some of the great cricketers have retired, you think they won’t be and cannot be replaced. But people move on very quickly. All eyes adjust and focus on the next talent that comes along.” Andy Flower replied when asked  about the next-gen players.

A young and inexperienced Team India is currently on tour against Zimbabwe and have lost the series opener in one of the biggest upsets recently. Chasing a modest target of 116, Team India top order failed to make their mark as debutants Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel were dismissed on single digit scores including a duck for Abhishek Sharma.
