What made the performers perform this way? It was indeed unsatisfactory. According to my opinion, somewhere the government is also responsible for such a performance. If we compare the facilities and equipments provided to an Indian performer and an International performer we’ll get the answer. An Indian performer is not provided with adequate, latest facilities and equipments for training. As a conclusion, both the performer and government are equally responsible for such a performance. India should take a step forward in providing better facilities, equipments and trainers to the players. May be then India would perform better in future.
