5 things the 90s Indian cricket enthusiast will love about the present team

#4 Aggressive body language

The current generation of players aren’t flustered by sledging and can give it back to the opposition

A lot of this has got to do with the skipper Virat Kohli and the mindset inculcated by Sourav Ganguly. It is hard to keep Kohli quiet, or out of the game. He has the swagger and the talent to back it up, and most importantly, his ebullience rubs off on the other players.

Gone are the days when Indian fast bowlers were abused and sledged by the batsmen Down Under and in England. Indian players now are a noisy bunch constantly chirpy, athletic on the field and persistent. They heckle the umpires more now than they did back then.

While care should be taken by the coach Anil Kumble to make sure they don’t turn into an unruly bunch like the Australians of the late 2000s, the aggression is not such a bad thing. A similar aggression won Kohli many fans when India toured Australia couple of years back. All Indian cricket needs now is some wins outside the sub-continent.
