The T20 World Cup is done and dusted for India, and as the Men in Blue head home after completing the formality by defeating Namibia in the last league match, leaving the stage to Pakistan, England, Australia and New Zealand to decide the champions, the question in the minds of experts as well fans is: Was it mere fatigue the reason or there were other issues like poor planning and team selection or for that matter losing the toss in the first two vital games that led to India failing to make the semi-finals?

There is, however, an urgent need to look forward rather than wallow in despair as India have a three-game T20I series followed by two Test matches lined up against New Zealand from November 17. Therefore, there is no option but to look at the immediate future under a new T20 captain and a new head coach in Rahul Dravid.
