Khel Khatam, Paisa Hazam: Lessons from Melbourne’s Debacle

▶️ Rohit Sharma’s Defensive Captaincy:Pat Cummins ke aggressive field sets ne Australia ka dominance dikhaya. But Rohit Sharma’s defensive approach failed to counter it. When the game needed aggression, why spread the field and play safe? Boland aur Lyon ke against attack karna chahiye tha, par woh chance liya hi nahi.

▶️ Kohli-Rohit Duo Fails:India’s most reliable players, Rohit and Kohli, couldn’t step up when it mattered. “Puji aur Rahane ke jagah kaun lega?” remains an unanswered question. Neither could anchor the innings, nor could they score runs. Defensive cricket aur lack of runs—don’t work together!

▶️ Pant’s Reckless Batting:Rishabh Pant’s aggressive shots turned into careless dismissals. “There’s a fine line between aggression and recklessness, and Pant crossed it.” Jab team ko stability chahiye thi, tab unhone wickets throw kiye.

▶️ Batting Collapse:The middle order, especially KL Rahul, completely failed. A position change shouldn’t lead to form loss! Yashasvi Jaiswal was unlucky, but the rest lacked intent. Without a strong middle order, victories are impossible.

▶️ Over-Dependence on Bumrah: Bumrah ko har baar team ka burden uthana padta hai. Cricket is a team game, not a one-man show! 

▶️ Fielding Errors: Catches win matches, but India kept dropping them. Missed run-outs and no-balls turned crucial moments into disasters. Fielding discipline pura missing tha.

Ab WTC Final ek sapna ban gaya.

Melbourne Test showed that skill isn’t enough—a winning mindset, execution, and intent are equally crucial. Without it, the road ahead looks tough.
