Team India had their best chance to grab an ICC trophy when they qualified for the Champion's Trophy final under the guidance of coach Anil Kumble, but to everybody's surprise, Pakistan brought their A-game to the table and steamrolled India.
The Indian players who were representing different franchises in the IPL are now united under one roof and will wear the Indian blues for the upcoming South Africa series which in many ways is their first test before the 2022 ICC T20I world cup.

"The People I spoke to were very keen to find a way to make it work, but the first thing I said, 'I can't give that much of time'. That means, I can't coach in the IPL," said Ponting who is currently the head coach of Delhi Capitals.
Attending his first press conference as Team India's T20 captain, along with newly-appointed coach Rahul Dravid, Rohit Sharma said his predecessor Virat Kohli has a big role to play in India's T20 setup once he returns to the team after the break.
Kohli, who has taken rest for the T20 series and one Test against New Zealand to recover bubble fatigue in COVID times, has relinquished captaincy in the shortest format after the showpiece event.
There was a gap of just two days between the IPL 2021 final and the first game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. The players travelled directly in the bubble and did not get enough rest ahead of the marquee event.
The T20 World Cup registered a cumulative reach of 238 million till last week which included the Qualifiers and first 12 games of Super 12 stage, Star India said in a release.
India paid the price for losing back-to-back games against Pakistan and New Zealand early on as Virat Kohli and his men failed to reach the semifinals of the showpiece event.
