5 aspects of Indian cricket that Anil Kumble should look to address immediately

#3 Giving the players a long rope

The pressure that comes along with being an Indian player is immense. Every move is scrutinised and thus the failure is often magnified. Kumble, as a skipper believed in giving his players a longer rope and one hopes that he gives the players a longer duration to prove themselves and not shunt them out after few failures.

The fact that he has played for almost 20 years will hold him in good stead going forward. He knows the domestic structure very well and will be aware of the nitty-gritty of how the team will shape according to the roles.

He will also be aware of the replacements and this will allow him to make a more informed decision while picking or dropping players from the squad.
