Time is a luxury if you are an Indian cricketer. The calendar is ticking faster than the taximeter. And “leisure” is like a touch of potable water in the middle of the wilderness.
Currently, this series of 15 cricket players in the UAE could swap anything to get a respite. Aside from form, fitness, and combinations, the Indian team would have only wanted to enliven for a moment to move on to a high-octane, emotionally charged match like Pakistan against Sunday night.
As the match progressed, the exhausted Men in Blue were left behind with each pass. Result: 10 goals lost. As much as the loss would hurt, these players would have sighed with relief knowing they would play next week after Sunday against New Zealand. It’s an unusually long break between two matches in such a compact tournament. “We have time to think,” Captain Virat Kohli stated to Pakistan last Sunday after the defeat.
Kohli has opposed the hop-off-flight-hop-to-stadium route his team has faced over the past few years. His words have always been deafening, but they always disappear in the face of monstrous – and increasing – market noise.

“It (this break) works really well for us from all angles when we know we’ve already played a full season. We’ve played IPL which is itself high octane under test conditions in the United Arab Emirates. These big breaks help us be on the team in the excellent physical condition we need to play this high-intensity tournament, ”Kohl’s iteration shows how much they have wanted muscle and mind relaxation every minute.
Indian cricketers have been jumping from one bio bubble to another for 15 months now. They live in a parallel universe with only windows to “normal life.” Even before the pandemic, the government had begun to pull all resources and waste all techniques to optimize the body load of these cricketers. “Workload management” became the single most important phrase behind the endurance of the high-quality cricket played by this team. There has been little room for the prestigious “workload government” recently. The government has not provided a formal service to address the mental health of these players.
Momentum is said to be the determining factor in a tent tournament. Players want to be in the middle of the action. It makes the adrenaline pump. You really don’t want to get to the point where you have to restart the engine and wait for it to warm up. Besides, Virat Kohl’s men have a dire need to give their overloaded and overheated engines time to cool, refuel and get back on without worrying much about breaking.
“A week’s break will help us gather as a team. Eager to do the things we want to prepare for and arrive again with confidence. We have enough confidence in our ability to come out during this preparation time. Once again in a positive state of mind,” added the skipper.
The panic button is never an option in high performance sports, but the reset button never hurts. It’s time to think about combinations, plans, and method. The team management has not had time to absorb the uncertainty around it Hardik Pandyas availability as a bowler.
The pitch behaves differently with the baptism around it. The rotating team needs a re-evaluation. There is Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami, The face of the Indian rapid bowling revolution, running up and down at high intensity for five months. BCCI, NCA has invested huge amounts of time and resources to ensure that these two assets are ready to be deployed in different formats. Like Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar the struggle for excellence, Bumrah must now withstand the load of attack.
At the start of the abandoned IPL season, players have literally been playing in the oven for over a month in the desert, with a money-consuming game floating on their heads and then the worldly pressure of passionate fans back on the ground when the T20 World Cup came.
Maybe the tournament would start in India this weekend!
