CLOSE-IN: Indian Cricket Team Needs To Get Temperamentally Stronger (IANS Column)

Cricket World Cup: Indian cricket fans and followers are still recovering from the team's shocking defeat by Australia in the Cricket World Cup’23. India were outsmarted by the strategies adopted by the Australians. However, the word used by Kevin Pietersen is one that struck a chord. He mentioned the word “temperament”. According to him, India fell short on that account. The more one thinks about it, the more one agrees with his assessment.

India have shown themselves to be a strong contender for the title throughout the Cricket World Cup league stage. It is in the knock-out stage that India has in the last 10 years fallen by the wayside. Several points have been discussed as the reasons for this, from weather to strategy, to the playing conditions, to wrong selection and many more. For India to fail continuously at every opportunity seems to have a much deeper reason than just cricket.

The fear of losing, the pressure to perform and the anxiety to do so, can be attributed to one's temperament. Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary Indian batter, one felt, also fell victim to it. He failed to score in both the World Cup finals in which India was involved, however, he was the top run-getter and lead performer in the matches before.
