Sachin, Sourav and Dravid : The backbone of Indian team

The recent victoy of India in Twenty20 champion ship without the trio (Sourav, Sachin and Dravind) proved great for the India and people started believing that the time has come where the trio should sit back and give the chance to the young guns of India.

But immediately after the Twenty20 series, the Future Cup- series between India and Australia of 7 one dayers turned out a washout for India even with the trio. It is to be believed that the young guns are not as comfortable with the trio as they were without them in Twenty20 and showed greater enthusiasm and team spirit there as compared in the Future cup.

My question here is that there is a great deal of difference between 20 and 50 overs match and considering the Twenty20 team fit for the 50 over match by surpassing the trio out is non-sense. Twenty20 match demands aggression, passion, dynamism a lot and opposed to it, the 50 over game demands patience, temperament and experience which the young guns lack. Now if you consider the trio unfit for one-day internationals and thinking of brushing them aside, I think that could be one of the black chapters in the history of Indian cricket.
