That one good decade would apply to a team like WI in the 70-80 or Pakistan in the 90’s because they had a bunch of match winners all at once.
India on the other hand has been just growing and growing since the 80’s because we have a process in place.
Batsmen: do I even have to discuss this?
Problem with fast bowlers- fixed, we have a world class pace attack
Bowling options- we have a world class off spinner, leg spinners, left arm spinner and even China man bowler.
Allrounders- well we at least have options now if not Pandya then someone else but we will fix it eventually.
Wicket keepers- we have 4 keeper bats now that can basically walk into the top 3 of any team.
India doesn’t hype the 83 win the same way that Pakistan does.
We won 2 CT but didn’t even realize it was that important since the Pakistanis have been rubbing that fluke win in our faces for 3+ years now
Our arrogance stems from not what we won or will win but the confidence that we have a machine/ factory that not only produces talent but can also make middling talent into world beaters.
A guy like Amir or Sharjeel wouldn’t even be given a second look after what they did because we would have 10 others to replace them. That’s the harsh truth.
Pakistanis have a passion for cricket just like India and they will produce talent but will they get anywhere is the question.
