@Sithara007 I totally agree with you and I felt that BCCI could have planned better and could have asked th player’s to prepare for this final but surprisingly there was no such directive from them and in the end team India lost another final. Lastly team India needs a new young dynamic captain who’s keen to play for the nation first and unless they get such a leader I doubt that they’ll win an ICC tournament anytime soon.
At this point, Kohli and his cronies such as Rohit control the team selection. This need to be changed. Rahul Dravid as the coach hasn't been able to do much against the senior players. There is no accountability within the Indian team and players are retained despite not performing for years on the trot. Players who doesn't have the support from this cabal, such as T Natarajan and Venkatesh Iyer are often overlooked for selection, while undeserving players are selected just because of their closeness to Kohli. Unless this system is changed, India is not going to win any of the ICC tournaments anytime soon.
With living into India you have better review about this all because I was thinking BCCI and selectors are having enough power to settle things but as you already describe senior players are having much influence on selection which is surely never been good for any team and India which is surely having enough pool of players with their domestic system is also providing them good support things like this surely not good because they need to have good backup on their bench for the long run strategy and many players are already under their system which can give them good results in red ball and white ball formats, but they are still facing issues like this mean it's long way to go for them to have team like Australia which is surely having greater system and backups even they also have failures and other problems, but there is no players power which have any impact on them and their system.
