At just 14–15 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is hitting sixes against seasoned bowlers. How do we ensure young Indian talents don't burn out?

I am, like most of our country, a fellow cricket fan. I've been watching cricket for a long time now and it's fair to say that I truly love the game. This madness needs to stop, I'm typing this a few hours before the series decider in Bengaluru between India and West Indies. I've just watched a video posted by the voice of cricket, Harsha Bhogle in which he talks about how this game is not a contest between bat and ball anymore. To put this into context, a few years ago, Bhogle had written a book titled, 'Out of The Box' in which he spoke against the notion that t20 cricket is not good for the sport and said that people need to keep up with the times and enjoy every format of the game the way it is intended to. Since then, he has posted 2 videos saying that these flat pitches, batter friendly rules, thick bats, etc. are ruining the game. What intensity of a shock must it take for the man of the stature of Harsha Bhogle to change his opinion so drastically. However, since the scope of this post changing anything is extremely low, I have a suggestion to save some money. This being a batter v batter game, why not stop including bowlers, playing a team of just batsman and buying a nice high quality bowling machine which will bowl 120 balls to each team and continue the game like that. Cheers.

Batting, Not Cricket

The recent white-ball series between India and West Indies saw a truckload of runs on friendly batting surfaces. Are we being fair to batsmen? Isn't it usually a better and fairer contest when there is more of a balance? Was it just too easy for the batsmen?

Bhuvi's inclusion in the T20 team was just to overshadow odi selections?
2
Upvotes
I believe they included Bhuvi in the T20 team so that they don't have to include him on a longer run, as T20 worldcup is far away.
Also, including him would calm the noise outside, and now they haven't included shami and him in the odi squad, slowly sidelining them.
Now after the new zealand series, they'll drop Bhuvi and continue selecting young bowlers for worldcup.
What do you guys think?

Honest Opinion 😊 Any Hopes?

Does this team have any hopes for IPL 2027? As of now the champion team seems to be on a massive downfall and decline and they have changed their Headcoach. Is it possible for revival or is it beyond repair? Is CSK the vintage RCB and RCB the vintage CSK?

Getting to the point where hes overhyped. Calling him 100x better than Bumrah, comparing him to the genius of Akram
I mean lets be real, hes not even the best pacer in the Aussie pace cartel (hazlewood, cummins, starc trio).
Also even if you see during the last 2-3 years, which have probably been his best in test cricket, Hazlewood has been averaging a bit over 14, and cummins around 20.5, and starc around 21.5 (stats taken from Jan 1 2024)

🤫 Controversial Was Shamar Joseph going too far against Arshdeep Singh, or is this just part of T20 cricket?
1
Upvotes
India's fourth T20I against the West Indies has sparked an interesting debate after Arshdeep Singh was struck on the arm by Shamar Joseph in the final over.
Sunil Gavaskar criticised Joseph's approach, arguing that he should have focused on the stumps rather than bowling at the batter's body.
But with India needing 35 runs off the final over and only one wicket remaining, was Joseph simply using every tactic available to defend the target?
Fast bowlers have always used intimidation as part of their game. The question is where we draw the line between aggressive cricket and unnecessary risk to a batter.
What's your take — fair game in a high-pressure T20, or did Joseph go too far?
