The Indian cricket team faced a unique challenge during the recent Test series against New Zealand, with Diwali celebrations coinciding with the match schedule. This distraction, coupled with the upcoming Boxing Day Test against Australia, raises questions about player focus and the psychological impact of festivities on their performance.
Last month was Diwali, the Hindu New Year, which is celebrated with great fervour and joy all over India . In one of the rare scheduling faux pas in recent times, the third Test match between India and New Zealand was also scheduled during this time. India lost in three days, marking the first time that they had failed to win a single Test in a series at home.
There’s been a lot of comment about the lack of runs from the blades of skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. All are being lured to their doom by persistent bowling around the off-stump. This is where they need to see the way Rahul and Smith built their innings and remember it’s a five-day Test match. India are unlikely to make any change to their line-up, but they will take heart from the fact that they have forced a change in the Australians’.
