    Sorry to see the disastrous defeat of Indian team.

    Ishant should have controlled that unforgettable over to some extent.

    But, one should not point fingers only at Ishant, for the reasons:
    1. Everyone had seen his bad times of bowling in the last 4 matches, but yet the team continued with him.
    2. In this match his bowling was not pretty good, then why did Mr. Dhoni completed 10 overs spell of Jadaje so early. He could have kept 1 or 2 overs pending for him and instead of Ishant, Jadaje should have been bowled as there was due troubling the fast bowlers. During Indian batting fast bowlers were punished in the last overs. From this the team India should have learnt the lesson and should not have repeated the same mistake.

    Young fast bowlers are sitting out as 12, 13, 14... out and are not getting chances. Give chances to these people. Getting back the oldies won't help. What if the aged oldies too fail. What will we perform in the next series and the upcoming World Cup.

    Our weakness is, we always want a few particular specific people to perform in all matches and never want them to be replaced and hardly give chances to young and new faces.

    Ishant, Ashwin, Raina & Kumar need some rest. Currently their time is going bad, so let them have some rest and training. Let the new people young talents be out on ground.

    Best of luck team India for the next match.
