Dr. Ambedkar’s legacy is complex and multifaceted. His is a name that continues to evoke dialogue and discontentment in sociopolitical movements formed in post-independent India. Yet, at the same time, Dr.Ambedkar has been intentionally ignored and strategically suppressed by history and society at large. Initially, many social and political movements did not embrace him.

India’s timid approach in back-to-back T20I World Cups has made one thing clear – this team is far away from winning an ICC tournament. It has been nine years since MS Dhoni’s team lifted the 2013 Champions Trophy. Since then, India went through a very conservative ‘experimental’ phase which lacked real experiments. The English brand of cricket has taken over the world. With a bit of luck and Ben Stokes, they are currently holders of the ODI and T20I World Cups. The question is do India really need to mimic the English way or should they just take a cue from the team that won the inaugural World T20 in 2007?
