The young Indian Team, the Champions of World Twenty 20 Cricket were defeated by the Australian Team by 9 wickets in Melbourne. India managed to score the second lowest total ever in the Twenty 20 Cricket Match. India scored 74 runs in 17.3 overs and in reply to this meager total, Australia ramped within 11.2 Overs. Australia scored 75 runs with 9 wickets in their hand.

What went wrong with the World Champs of Twenty 20 Cricket? Certain people say that India was not able to adapt to the changes from Test Cricket to Twenty 20. This team is projected as a young Team which can adapt to changes easily and play according to the need of the time. If these young players are not able to adapt to simple transitions, in the days to come there are more Challenges that awaits them. How are they going to adapt to these Challenges in Cricket?

In the next few years, the Big 3 in the Indian Team might retire from International Matches. It is up to the Young players to compensate the absence of these Veteran Players. If simple transition from Test match Cricket to Twenty 20 is hard, how are they going to balance the absence of Veteran Players in the Future as well as in the ongoing One Day series?
