India has failed to win an ICC tournament for close to a decade now. Their last ICC triumph was in 2013 when India won the Champions Trophy in England under the leadership of MS Dhoni. India’s performance in ICC tournaments, overall, hasn’t been that bad, but the lack of trophies has attracted severe criticism for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Ravichandran Ashwin, however, doesn’t agree with the narrative as he feels that winning an ICC tournament should not be the only parameter to judge a player and if it is then at least they should be given time.

This poor showing did not go unnoticed by former Indian player Mohammad Kaif, who warned the two young batsmen about their potential to be labeled as “flat-track bullies.” In Kaif’s eyes, if Ishan and Gill…

In the opening over, Finn Allen hit three fours and gained confidence, which, according to Chopra, set the tone for the rest of the innings. “I thought Finn Allen was an easy…
