Why the Indian Test team needs new batsmen

Live Mint  

The Test series in the West Indies next month, kicking off India’s World Test Championship campaign for 2023-25, is a transition point after losing back-to-back WTC finals in 2021 and 2023. It would serve India better in the long run to give opportunities to a younger player to adapt to Test cricket rather than extending an underperforming Pujara’s career. One only needs to look at how Australia’s No.4 and No.5, Steve Smith and Travis Head, took the WTC final away from India with 121 and 163. Many of India’s Test victories to enter the WTC final came as a result of rearguard gumption, including a mind-blowing 89-run 9th wicket stand between Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah in England in 2021.
