One of the silver linings that can be taken, according to Dasgupta, is the attitude of the Indian players after losing their first two games of the tournament. He outlined the positive approach employed by the opening pair of KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma and also the attacking bowling of Ravindra Jadeja. Dasgupta said:
KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma scored the bulk of the runs for India in the latter stages of the campaign. Ravindra Jadeja bagged the player of the match award twice for his exploits with the ball.
The quality of cricket has improved massively under Shastri: Dasgupta
Dasgupta noted Ravi Shastri’s contributions as a coach and lauded him for leaving the Indian team in a better state than it was when he started his stint. He also stressed upon how the quality of cricket has also improved over the years under his watch. Dasgupta added:
Ravi Shastri’s reign as head coach of Team India came to an end with the culmination of India’s involvement in the T20 World Cup. He has been replaced by Rahul Dravid, who will assume control of the side, starting from the home tour against New Zealand.
