Gary Kirsten the high profile coach of India who had a very fine run of victories by the Indian Team had to suffer a major loss / setback in his CV. Kirsten had pin pointed the issue before the start of the T20 Worlds Cup that the Indian team might be mentally fatigued with an overrun of cricket happening in the last 3 months.
Kirsten spoke to news persons after the loss against England : "Fatigue was definitely a factor, as were many other things, I don't want to use that as an excuse but it was a factor. We weren't an energetic team, like we were in New Zealand where the levels of energy were really good. We didn't get up to the same level on this tour"
Highly competitive and fast cricket had been the cause of India’s failure in the T20 World Cup, with all 11 players including the other bench players who had been vigorously involved in the IPL 2009.
Both Dilip Vengsarkar & Sachin Tendulkar had also raised a concern regarding this issue which has apparently come true in terms of result in performance.
But looking at this Australia who had unofficially boycotted the IPL 2009 (with minimum participation of its players) was the first team to get out the competition. wat say :-)
The other reason which Kirsten failed or resisted to mention was the inability to cope the bouncers which the opponent teams used very well against India. India beware of these bouncers as I can see them coming more in future.
