India has given the world-class players in the classical formats, and now six of them are featured in the top 30. But when it comes to the faster formats of the game-the rapid and the blitz-the gap exists. Only Viswanathan Anand is a shining star in the blitz format. The paper will look into why this gap exists, examining how Indian training is too concentrated on the classical format, thereby offering limited exposure to rapid/blitz tournaments, and the psychological demands of playing in the faster formats are different. Describe some of the possible ways and strategies that can help fill this gap, underlining the need for tailored training and greater match experience to make the Indian cricketer dominate in all forms of cricket.
