Waking up after the shameful defeat from New Zealand, now these 2 big lions of Team India will wear down in Ranji

News India Live, Digital Desk: Did you ever think that our Indian team would have to face a clean sweep (ie losing the series badly) at the hands of a team like New Zealand in its own home? Heartbroken, isn’t it? But now BCCI and the team management are not going to keep quiet. It is reported that strict steps are being taken to bring back discipline and form in the team. The biggest news coming is that two big names of Team India, whom we often see only in international matches, can now be seen sweating on the Ranji Trophy fields. Who are those two players? According to media reports and discussions, these names can be none other than Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. (Although players like KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are also in the news, the focus is more on these young stars as they are in dire need of game time and form). Why are they making a comeback? See, the reason is very clear. Our batsmen succumbed to spin in the New Zealand series. Australia tour (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) is on the horizon. Playing in Australia is not child’s play. The pitches there test even more. The management wants these players not to depend only on net practice, but to face the pressure of the real match. There can be no better ‘practice’ than Ranji Trophy. Playing here will not only bring back their confidence, but will also develop the habit of playing long innings. This is a good sign. To be honest, this is a very good decision. Even legends like Sachin, Dravid and Laxman used to go to play Ranji when they were in bad form. There is no shame in this. Domestic cricket is the backbone of Indian cricket. If these star players of ours play Ranji, then the young players will also get to learn a lot from them and Team India will get a ready and strong player for the Australia series. Now it has to be seen how well these ‘Bade Mian’ perform on small grounds. But this much is certain, now no one can relax considering their place in Team India as assured!
