INDIA POOR PERFORMANCE AFTER WC-2011

On 2nd April 2011,INDIA won the world cup after three decades defeating Srilanka in the finals and I think from here Team India lost their focus and faced disastrous performance.This blog is about the downhill journey of INDIAN CRICKET TEAM.

The members of the World Cup-winning team could properly celebrate that title triumph, which has come after 28 long years, they were off to the West Indies for a Test and One-day International (ODI) series.From the Caribbean they went straight to England, where began a long series of defeats in Test cricket and abysmal overseas record continues
unabated.

The performance of Indian team is deteriorating due to which Indian team have failed to win a single Teat abroad or a single major tournament abroad.
It was 21st July 2011 team India had a tour against England & it was one of the humiliating tours of team India. Dhoni's side was whitewash 0-4 to the English in test series and that was followed by a loss in one-off T-20 and a 0-3 thrashing defeat in ODI series. After this series,Indian team lost the respect that they had gained after being crowning WORLD CHAMPIONS 2011.

Then later Dhoni's side get some relief as they beat the ENGLAND 5-0 in ODIs,when they toured INDIA & that was followed by an easy win against WEST INDIES poor side in both test (2-0) & ODI series (4-1).
The real test was to come in Australia & some called it that India's best chance to gain same reputation like after the victory of World cup but shockingly,it was worse than England.Dhoni's side lost all the test matches 0-4 & LOST BORDER- GAVASKAR TROPHY. India managed to tie T-20 series 1-1 but failed to reach the finals of COMMONWEALTH BANK SERIES.

After this,India's performance went down and down as they were unable to reach in the finals of ASIA CUP. BANGLADESH beat India by which India failed to qualify in the finals.
After a long break new season began,Team India got a bit of good news as they beat SRI LANKA 4-1 in 5 match series & followed by winning Test series against NEW ZEALAND & SRILANKA TOUR.

And then,ICC T-20 WORLD CUP came where INDIA failed to reach semi-finals as they fell short of required Net Run-Rate. Embarrassed India's next series was against ENGLAND & PAKISTAN. People called the England series as "BADLE KI SERIES" but DHONI's boys were unable to take revenge from English side & England team beat India 2-1 in four match series. Later India managed to tied T-20s against England & Pakistan 1-1 but India's worst performance continued against Pakistan too & lost the ODI series 2-1.

Now some questions arise that why Indian team is performing like this?
What are the reasons behind this?
Why selectors don't select best team?
Is Dravid, Laxman retirement in Test cricket reason for this?
Is there no replacement for Sachin?
