NEW DELHI: Indian cricket is at the crossroads of a new era, as 2024 saw a series of farewells to iconic players and the rise of young talent eager to leave their mark. With veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin stepping away from various formats, the team faced the daunting challenge of rebuilding while maintaining its winning momentum.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir offered an optimistic perspective, emphasising performance as the ultimate criterion. “Indian cricket’s transition is in safe hands as long as there are honest people in the dressing room. The only criterion to be in that dressing room is performance,” he said during a pre-match press conference in Sydney.
