5 reasons why India should have sent a second string side to the Windies

#2 Mental rest for senior players post the Kohli-Kumble fallout

There seems to be no end to the Kohli-Kumble fallout

With the ruckus that has been created post-Anil Kumble’s unceremonious exit as Team India’s head coach, a break would have helped senior cricketers keep themselves away from the limelight.

Constant honking by the media can lead to mental unrest among players, and it is usually the senior players who are contacted for quotes and insights into anything leading to a controversy.

Playing a second string side, who haven’t witnessed much of the fallout behind locked doors, could have certainly saved some of the players constant pressure from the paparazzi.
