  1. India needs hard measures
    1. Rohit sharma should gracefully retire from t20 Int with dignity. He is not fit enough to play this format anymore and will become 37 yrs old by the time next wc comes up. Also, team under Kohli was paying lot more attention to fitness than team under Rohit. One can see so many old legs like Rohit Ashwin Shami Bumrah (when playing). The other players are also not gun fielders.
    2. This needs to be last WC for Bhuvi, Ashwin, DK and perhaps Axar too. Amazed how Ashwin got ticket to Wc, maybe only bcoz he can bat a bit in absence of Jadeja. India should not go back to age old options like DK just bcoz he had tremendous IPL.
    3. Players like Surya Jadeja Bumrah Hardik Pant Deepak Chahar should now start forming core of t20 team.
    4. Players like Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Ishaan, Gill, Prithvi Shaw, Hooda should be kept in loop of selection. Sanju should be given a very long rope.
    5. Decision to be made about Rahul and Kohli. Kohli i feel still has a gas to go till 2024 wc. He might still be most fit cricketer even 2 yrs later and batter taking all the responsibility on his shoulders while chasing. Rahul on the other hand has some issue with his brain network and needs his brain to be flushed well. He should not be asked to take any responsibility and play freely. If he can't, he sits out.
    6. Bowlers with pace should be picked and selected repeatedly. At the same time, we have given chances to many half cooked players to play international cricket. Bumrah Arshdeep Deepak Chahar should be first choice bowlers. Shami dissapointed in 2 wcs. Prasiddh, Umran, Siraj can offer pace. Natarajan, Arshdeep, mohseen khan can give left hand options. But clearly, we are in draught for real pacers.
    7. Stop messing with spinners like yuzi chahal. Also other wrist spinners like Kuldeep, Bishnoi sould be always kept in loop.
    8. Make all bowlers bat. Yuzi, Kuldeep could have easily made into t20 team if they would have learnt even a bit of batting. India can also think of 3-4-5 all rounders @ number 5,6,7,8,9. Shardul, deepak Chahar Washington sundar, hardik, jadeja, hooda can make the core of Indian team. Top 3-4 can be pure batters and bottom 2-3 bowlers can be pure bowlers.
    9. Keep another coach for t20. T20 cricket should be coached by a dynamic person, maybe like a manager in epl. Coach can't just sit quiet when team is getting beaten with no loss. He should be pumped, sending lots of insights.
