After the heartbreaking loss in the 50 overs World Cup, the Indian team and the selector must make good choices for the T-20 World Cup. There is no doubt that the 50-over squad was strong, and they dominated the whole tournament. It was very evident, but they slipped in the very last game. It was somewhere very heartbreaking. We need players who can change the games whenever required. It is a very vast country with an immense amount of talent present. The selectors just have to keep an open eye.
