Heaping lavish praise on the current Indian Test team, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar has said that the Virat Kohli-led team has the ability to dominate world cricket.
Currently the top-ranked team in the world, the Indian team has been turning heads with their consistent performances in the longest format of the team. Virat Kohli’s men are on a 19-match unbeaten streak which is the longest by any Indian captain and looking at the current form, one can only expect it to get longer.
Speaking to the journalists in Madras Motor Racing Track, Sachin said:“I have said that this team is going to play together for a long, long time and dominate world cricket.”
Tendulkar credited the right team combination behind the team’s phenomenal performance over the past couple of years.
“We have some amazing players. It has the right balance of good all-rounders. There are batsmen who can bowl and bowlers who can bat. There are two wicketkeepers (Wriddhiman Saha and Parthiv Patel) who have gone out and scored runs. To be able to do that changes the balance of the team. We are seeing the results. And, results always follow good preparation,” said Tendulkar who was a part of some of the best Indian Test teams.
When the Master Blaster was asked whether the current Indian team was the best in India’s history, he said:“I think each era and generation played cricket differently and there were different styles of play. So for this generation, I would say it’s a fabulous achievement. But when it comes to comparison, I don’t think we should pick a team from the 50s or the 70s and start comparing. We should respect each generation and enjoy what these guys are doing. We must extend full support to them. I am enjoying the way the guys are playing.”
