Since 1988 India has lost 3 that's a series loss every 12 years. Incredible what the team has achieved

[aadityajain]

How ironic exactly a month after this video a test match that decides the series and india loses miserably

[TheLastPartyCookie]

Apparently it is the 2024 team of ...New Zealand!

16:41 Right at the moment if Pakistan play India, they would lose 6-0 in 5 match series 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And youtube suggested me today after India got destroyed by newzealand

In India if Ashwin gets to bowl 15 overs at you, he will get you out even if you are Sir Don Bradman.

[MrBaniya]

U know this indian team is legendary when such hypothetical scenarios are being discussed

[sudhakarbhat]

What an analysis and historical perspective in depth insight. Wow. Thank you Jarrod.

It's the batting that'll win you series here in India. 2004 had prime Martyn and Gilly 2012 had cook and Pietersen 😊

Big credit goes to kohli
From 2014 till 2021 kohli only lost 2 test matches at home which is insane
He is in the list at no 4 of all time run scorers in test as a captain
Ofc ashwin Jadeja rahane pujara and rohit did had their contributions
But kohli was a fabulous test captain
He is one of the reasons for the home dominance india has had over for years and now rohit's carrying the same
Also umesh yadav is someone who has contributed a lot in winning home tests as a pacer its never easy to take wickets in india but he did his part

Sri lanka still haven't won a test series in India which is pretty surprising considering the team they had in the past.

Just my opinion: I feel most older teams, especially pre-80s, would struggle to win a series against the modern teams. It's not about the skillset, it's about the newer playbooks, player conditioning and the evolution of the game itself.

Also, the fitness of modern players is on a completely different level. To clarify, I am not referring to speed, power or strength. It's the difference in endurance, flexibility, dexterity, etc. While some earlier generations have even played 6-day tests, they didn't have such hectic calendars. Now, players compete in a grueling schedule of diverse cricketing formats that demand a complete lifestyle change and adjustment to the modern world.

I have been thinking about this for a while now that no team can beat India at home in tests at home and maybe even away. India is so balanced that they can recover themselves from the most difficult situations in test cricket as in tests you don't need to win just once, like in T20is or ODIs, you need to win session after session or win so dominately in one session that the game is over and you just can't do that to the indian team. The same begali team that was playing wow cricket against Pakistan beating them by nearly an innings, were completely helpless against India. I think Pakistan currently should be happy rather than disappointed that India dont play billatareals against them because this Indian team would humiliate them at home, away, or neutral venues. In conclusion, the Indian team currently is the best test team.

2004 Australia Tour of India, Aus won because of the following:

1. Sachin Tendulkar didn't play the first 2 tests and came back into the 3rd post a long break from his infamous Tennis Elbow injury(Yeah, Ricky Ponting didn't play too, but I would rate Sachin's impact in India much much higher than that of Ponting's).
2. 2nd Test Match at Chennai 5th day got washed out. India would have most certainly chased it down(200 odd on the last day).
3. Terrible umpiring which went against India. First over of the tour, Justin Langer was not given LBW. It was plumb out. Many such instances.
4. Parthiv Patel's terrible wicket keeping skills. He dropped way too many catches which even pissed off Rahul Dravid in the slips.
5. Ganguly and Harbhajan choosing not to play the 3rd test at Nagpur since the wicket had a green top 🙄
Australia were undoubtedly brilliant, but the above points went terribly against India.

In my opinion spinners can get the job done in India, as the current lot of Indian batsmen are no experts in facing spin. But the issue is that SENA countries don't have any experienced spinners. A XI with 2 such spinners can trouble India big time, that's what Swann & Panesar did in 2012

[Saksham]

It’s unfortunate that in India, where the cricket team is currently so Invincible and the sport enjoys immense popularity, only a few people truly understand the game. While I have around 60-70 friends and known ones who watch cricket, only about 2 of them have a deep understanding of how the game is played. Most watch cricket simply because it’s popular, with many only tuning in for T20 matches due to its fast pace. There are only few people in our country who understands how cricket is being played rest of them are just fighting about how their favourite player is the best player of all time.

[kingsurgaleo]

Just incredible to think that a month ago THIS indian team was considered invincibles at home.

[Kingsvoice]

19:50 you fool..they did it with current team

[benudharmadhi]

Any older teams to beat modern indian team is uphill challenge which is nearly impossible, as cricket as evolved over past times, there are some great Spinners & seamers but how will they tackle pant scoping them over wicketkeeper, the riversweep, switch hits,
