Future of Test Cricket in India

Even though the Test match is planned, but we did not expect it, that 45 000 people will come to see the final rights played in 45 minutes of Sunday's game. This is the true story of the pink ball test. Over the past two and a half days, around 1,50,000 spectators attended the game at the Eden Gardens and were awaiting the world of cricket trials. As Sourav Ganguly said at the end of the game: "The pink ball may not be the only answer, but it is definitely one of them. It's like a sudden surge of energy that cricket needs. We need it now with caution and Should be used thoughtfully. "

No one expected Bangladesh to win. At this time, India is very good for Bangladesh. Even the most ardent fans in Bangladesh knew about it. Also, the most sarcastic and cynic is the Indian fan. They waited patiently for performance of Runa Laila on the first day and went viral to complete Kohli and his boys on the third day. It was more a carnival than a test match at Eden Gardens. And perhaps we expect the cricket test to require more T20 popularity, which has now captivated the imagination of fans around the world.

The Indian cricket team is probably the best in the world right now. Yes, Bangladesh was poor but still the Indians needed good balls in every over. He needed to intimidate the batsmen. And they duly did all that.

As the head coach, Ravi Shastri said, "Virat and I were discussing the announcement of declaration for a while. We wanted to give them a few overs before tea because the last time to play under the lights with the pink ball is relatively easy. We wanted to take a few wickets before the dew came in and it worked well. The declaration was a statement of intent. This was proof that Indians were relaxed. They wanted to close things and move up 60 points, which has now led them to 360 points in the World Test Championship table.

Each Bangladesh batsman struggled against Indian fast bowlers, Kohli again holding an exhibition. It combined elegance and technique and showed why he is the best in the modern game of formats. It was not easy under the lights, but the Indian captain was carefree and adjusted his game very well with the need of the time.

If Virat were sublime, three fast bowlers would have been ruthless. Ishant Sharma, now playing in 100 Test matches, led with panache and skill, while Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav played the role of enforcers. Shami will soften the batsmen at one end and Umesh and Ishant will take wickets at the other. They were literally with the Bangladesh batting line up. Most say that this is the best Indian bowling attack in a long time and if not the best time. To complement the momentum trio with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, the analogy is difficult to question.

Finally, the local boy Wriddhiman Saha dropped out of the game for almost a year and it must be said that he made the mother of all comebacks. Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta expressed it well, “He is definitely the best in the world and probably the best I have ever seen. I will join him with Ian Healy. "

With Saha behind the stumps, the Indian bowlers' task becomes much easier. Shami said, "I'm lucky to have them for myself." "With him you know that you are the safest in the hands and if you go wrong you can take the risk, he is there to bail out the situation. Throughout my life, I don't think I have any better keeper for me.

Is Indian team ready for their next test series against New Zealand and can they now improve their overseas record? Shastri said, "That is the purpose." “We know that New Zealand is an excellent team at home, but this team is better. We are not worried about any opposition. We just have to play our game. It should be good enough for any team in the world. "
