The Surfer: India’s future isn’t what it used to be

Less than two years ago, India’s next generation of players was led by Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma. At present, though, Virat Kohli has overtaken them as front runner, while Raina and Rohit are still striving to cement permanent spots in the Indian team, writes Aditya Iyer in the Indian Express.
