Where India Cricket Future Stands?

After losing their way out from ICC T20 World Cup 2012, the questions raises in every Indian mind is where it's time to move with leadership after-all Dhoni finishes his 5 years captaincy. Is this Indian team lead by MS Dhoni capable of winning other major cup of ICC?

Dhoni captaincy came under firing line when he dropped Shewag in all important clash with Aussies, and last night, when Rohit Sharma came into the attack ahead of R Ashwin. He said that, ‘I am a great believer in the present’, that doesn't seems to be enough now, India needs to plan for the future.

Team India seems to be in trouble at every single corner of the game, as their opening pair yet to fire they last scored 100-run partnership in Tests came way back in December 2010. Delhi pair, Gambhir has issues with his footwork while Sehwag’s fitness worries are now starting to affect his game as well, they were looking badly out of form.....

Is Irfan Pathan the only all-rounder we have, he might be good with ball but his batting abilities doesn't meet all-rounder abilities in any manner, compared to Shane Watson (Aus). Neither do Piyush Chawla, R Ashwin, Harbhajan Singh are bidding for ll-rounder position with their batting abilities. Only hope for us is Yuvraj Singh, who battled out cancer for several months entered without any match practice. He did exceptional job with ball, still not in his hitting zone, big worries for India:(

Zaheer Khan is a class act but that doesn't speak his performance, he struggles in T20 are very apparent. Zak bowling style much suited to long formats but in T20s! Does India really need him Zaheer in T20 cricket?

The Rohit Sharma question looms large once again. Almost 5 years in international cricket, what is Rohit Sharma’s standing? His average for the tournament is 41.00. Rhoit's 25 off 27 balls in the match against South Africa makes one wonder what’s really happening with him. In every match he was shunted up and down the order. That could not have been easy for him.

There is only one positive hope for Indian Cricket grooming is none other than Virat Kholi. He has been outstanding though out the tournament; will Kholi be leading next Team India for next T20 World Cup?

Are you with Dhoni or Kholi with young guns for next ICC World T20???????
