The defeat achieved by Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final for the Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is no less than a shock. Even though Kohli has called it a 'other match' of cricket, but he also knows how much it had a deep impact on the morale of the team. Certainly Kohli would like to quickly recover from this defeat. 23 will be the start of the team's tour of West Indies, therefore, there will be a great performance from the team there.

But in the last 24 hours Virat Kohli has got two shocks. The first Team India has lost the Champions Trophy at the hands of Pakistan and in the second ODI, the team also slipped to third spot. Two years later, the World Cup of cricket is to be held in England, so Virat Kohli will have to take these lessons from this defeat.

In the Champions Trophy, the Indian team relies mostly on top three batsmen. Since the middle-order batsmen did not get much chance of batting, they did not understand the mood of England's conditions and the pitch. Yuvraj Singh against Pakistan and Dhoni against Sri Lanka certainly did a great batting in the match, but both could not do in the final.

The question arises whether Dhoni will be able to live in that form till the 2019 World Cup. In the matches played out of Asia from 2015, Dhoni has played 25 matches in which he has scored only 460 runs, he also has an average of 30.60. At the same time Yuvraj Singh played cricket abroad after four years. Therefore, Virat needs to brainstorm to strengthen the middle class.

One thing to note in the Champions Trophy is that in the matches in which India lost the team, the bowlers have looted the runs. First against Sri Lanka and second in the final against Pakistan. India's lack of an additional specialist fast bowler, Do not give Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami a chance in this match, they also have trouble for the team. It will also be a big challenge to balance the spinner and pace.

India has many young players who are now required to give chance. If India has to prepare for the World Cup then Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer will have to be successful. By managing them in some matches, management and Kohli should decide where they fit.
