There is some concern that the IPL would have left the Indian players jaded but the team will have a fairly easy time after the World Twenty20, and will be keen to give it their best. Sunil Gavaskar in the Hindustan Times believes fatigue shouldn’t be a worry for India in the tournament beginning on Friday in England.
He also goes on to talk about plugging the loopholes which ensure a player can turn out for another country after he finds there's no place for him in the national squad despite good performances.
The challenge for India this time is bigger, if not tougher. Lalchand Rajput, who was coach during the triumph at the inaugural World Twenty20 recalls his strategy and planning - in particular, the K.I.S.S. formula - Keep It Super Simple, in the Times of India. His message was: Don’t complicate things and take each game at a time.
...We were riding on the disaster of the West Indies World Cup, so I told the boys that a win would be special.
I gave the example of Edmund Hillary. ‘He was the first to climb the Everest but even today he is remembered first despite many others having scaled the peak. Try to achieve a similar feat, and if you believe, you will’ I told the boys.
