India under Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma was an IPL all-stars squad rather than a well-rounded group with T20 expertise.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the biggest Twenty20 cricket tournaments in the world. And while the national team has had some success in the format – most notably winning the inaugural World Twenty20 in 2007 – they have never been able to replicate that success in the IPL. In fact, in the eleven seasons of the IPL, the Indian team has only made it to the final three times.

So when it was announced that former captain Rahul Dravid and current vice-captain Rohit Sharma would be leading an all-star squad of Indian players in this year’s IPL, there was a lot of excitement. Finally, it seemed, India would have a team that was not only full of world-class talent, but also had the experience and expertise to win the tournament.

Sadly, that excitement was short-lived. The team, which was christened the India IPL All-Stars, lost all three of their matches in the group stage and were knocked out of the tournament without even making it to the playoffs.
