What ails Indian cricket ??? I have been a keen follower of Indian cricket for the last 3 decades and every time I see India lose to white men , my 6th sense goes into an overdrive and I start planting reasons as if India was immortal. Right from Gavaskar through Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli , I have seen that it takes something beyond the realms of cricket to beat a sound team like India. One constant that I have observed all these years is you uproot the main strike batsmen early by hook or crook and the rest of the team follows. India is beaten in cricket in UK , OZ , NZ or south Africa , not by the gaming superiority but by treacherous planning which includes - pitch tempering , toss tempering and psyche tempering by creating a controversy of ICC rules which are made and executed for the white man. In case your memory fades , please recollect monkey gate , jadeja & Anderson gate , tendulkar declared LBW on a ball which hits him on the BACK , and many more such controversial decisions which target the lead batsmen of Indian team. Virat Kohli is the latest addition to that class and result of the series is no different. I wonder with so much of money being pumped out of India for ICC events , why hasnt India been able to work on the white man`s psyche ? Or is it the same old story of too little too late ??
