For the major cricket fans, comparing old cricketer players who are retired now with the young uprising talent is a fun thing to do as a debate. In the past, the Indian Cricket team with cricketers like Irfan Pathan, Virender Sehwag, and Zaheer Khan was one of the most formidable teams that the world had witnessed. Today the same function is carried out by yorker king Bumrah, Superhit Rohit Sharma, and Hard hitter Hardik Pandya for the India team. If any of the ones are missing from the team, the Indian team severely feels their absence as we saw the Indian team needed Rohit Sharma in the recent ODIs against Australia.

Talking about the past, Sehwag was feared by almost every bowler and his habit of hitting a first-ball four was confidence-breaking for bowlers. Once he stood his ground in the initial overs, he made sure that he goes back after scoring promising runs in as few balls as he can use. Irfan Pathan, on the other hand, was an important part of team India for a long time, especially in test cricket. He is remembered largely because of his hattrick against Pakistan that too in the very first three balls of the game. His bowling partner in the comparison is another left-arm bowler, Zaheer Khan. He was the second most successful bowler after the legendary Kapil Dev.

Even if they were exceptionally good, the younger generation of cricketers are much more talented and have won more matches for India and will do so in the future as well. Rohit Sharma is one of the most successful openers in all three formats India has ever witnessed. He still has the highest individual score in ODI, 264 not out, and had plenty of centuries to his name in recent years. To add, the team also consists of Hardik Pandya who has the power of a West Indian finisher and the raw talent of the cricket God. The bowling side is dominated by Shami and Bumrah who loves to bowl toe crushing Yorkers and blow away the stumps of world-class batsmen. Bumrah today is the world’s best T20 death bowler and has made a significant name for himself in the cricketing world.
