Has the twenty20 success unbalanced the Indian cricket side?

Everyone claims Indias twenty20 victory as a great achievement and also brags about it. i wonder whether this success has ended up making the team more unbalanced - especially in trying to balance out youth and experience. It seems to have made the team less professional and the playing seems more like individuals thrashing around than playing to a plan. the bowling has improved a lot, but the batting is more in shambles than before. Do you agree or disagree? You are free to post your opinion - you need not agree with my views!

U r correct .INDIAN TEAM has a lot of young players especially in the batting department.Among them Rohit sharma is a good batsmen.SHARMA is a capable batsmen.He can b considered as future Dravid in the making.India's tri-series squad is packed with youngsters but promising middle order batsman Rohit Sharma refuses that the absence of seniors is putting extra pressure on the youngsters. Sharma admitted that a few youngsters in the side, including him, were in the squad at the expense of some well-known seniors such as Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly, but they were taking it as a challenge to make themselves counted.

The youngsters have talent, but quite a few times you can easily note that they are not mature in their gameplan and throw away their wicket.

well I won't say it has unbalanced but the thing is we have created more news with this than it deserves. We should not consider the players as the gods.when they went with place them at the Temple and when they start to lose weight track them down to the gutter.this is very annoying and you can easily see that no other country does this much for their cricketing team we can understand this cricket is a passion for our country people would still be should not who would do anything otherwise it can have an adverse effect and which is happening to the players they feel too much pressurised whenever they are going for any major event. Let them feel comfortable lead them to what they are capable of. Why do you want to hide so much before the World Cup these are all publicity stunts so that the companies can make a lot of money and nothing else they are not at all bothered whether the Indian team wins a World Cup or not it is the money which they are concerned about the once they get it their very happy with it. It doesn't matter whether in their loos or when

I feel that Winning the T20 world cup was a success for Indian Team and brought about a revolution in the history of nt only Indian cricket but to the International cricket as a whole. but i agree that India's win in the series has brough about a disbalance in the Indian team Line-Up and they are struggling to find their rhythm in the 50 overs match.. Dropping dada from the current series was one of the biggest mistakes and just experimenting with the youngsters and that too against the two world class teams did not seem to be a good idea. It has become a matter of everytime that Indian batsmen fail to score even after perform well at the bowling side.. And they lost their touch in 20-2- too when they got all out for 74 in 17 overs.. So i think they should try to figure out the balance between the youngsters and the experienced players.. Zaheer Khan and saurav Ganguly can help in improving the situation...
