While our limited-overs teams continue to blossom, India’s Test pack doesn’t come out smelling of roses often enough

Quick Read
The Indian cricket team is in danger of losing their second high-profile home series on the bounce. Last year, a lesser fancied, but spirited New Zealand outfit returned home after a 3-0 series whitewash that was unprecedented for the hosts where three-match series were concerned.
The Gautam Gambhir-coached outfit went on to lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia despite stunning the Aussies in the opening Test at Perth. A home series against the West Indies was India’s next Test challenge last month, and while Shubman Gill’s men prevailed in both Tests, it shouldn’t be forgotten that the so-called hopeless West Indies team stretched their accomplished opponents to the last day of the final Test in New Delhi.
