However right after the IPL we saw that the Indian batting line up failed miserably in the world cup test final against Australia. Was it because of the transition from the T20 direct to the test format or was it anything else that caused the batting failure?
Some of the players didn't took part in the IPL (such as Cheteshwar Pujara) and still failed during the WTC final. And then there were some who were out of form during the IPL, like Rohit Sharma and Shardul Thakur. The real reason why the Indian team failed during WTC is because of lack of preparation. They were playing in hot and humid conditions in India, and that too in flat tracks with smaller boundaries. The conditions in England were diametrically opposite and the team didn't got enough time to get adjusted. Also, they didn't focused much on the preparations.
IPL ended with WTC also ended in disaster for the Indian team many stars fail to give their best and give up badly in both innings which is surely under criticism by many former cricketers and currently involved in this game around the world but one thing which is not highlighted still looking for the reply as Indian captain Rohit Sharma also give is view about this all why we have to play final in June and why we have to do this every time after IPL we can do this on any other time as well with many venues are available, and we also have time frame as well as why this all is going like this for two time and both times India fail because players right now IPL fail to give their best in RED-BALL which is completely different from the WHITE-BALL so ICC and BCCI also need to check this all and try to have things different in next final because for me most chances we will have India again in final for the next round as well.
