A big tree of Indian batting, Sachin
Tendulkar would fall down in November 2013, as he plays his last 2 test matches
against West Indies. It’s the end of an era. As this happens, let us sit and
analyze the future of Indian test batting.
The new crop of Indian batsmen,
including Kohli, Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara have performed well
in the international circuit so far, and seem to possess both the talent as
well as the temperament to succeed in test cricket. These may become the new Fab
4 of Indian batting in times to come.
Out of these 4, Dhawan, Kohli and
Pujara have already performed creditably in the limited test matches they have
played in. Rohit Sharma is considered to be India’s most talented young batsman,
and he has also started showing some consistency in batting since opening the
batting in ODIs. He will surely get his chances in test cricket after Sachin’s
retirement, and has all the potential in the world to make it big.
These four may write another golden
chapter in the history of Indian test batting, and with an ever strengthening
fast bowling attack, with bowlers like Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron capable of
hitting the 150 kmph mark, they may shape India into a true world champion team
in test cricket also.
The South Africa tour in December 2013
would be their first litmus test, and here’s hoping that they all pass with
flying colours, and lead India to its 1st test series victory in
South Africa.
