After India lost the first two Tests against New Zealand at home, and thereby, the series, Kiwi speedster-turned-commentator Simon Doull remarked that modern Indian cricketers are not as good players of spin as their predecessors. 

The tourists completed the whitewash in the third Test on Sunday, which further substantiated his claim. India lost 37 wickets to spin in the three-match Test series, calling for introspection on the approach against quality spin bowling.
