Following India's home Test series defeat to New Zealand, former South African captain AB de Villiers commented on the evolving competitiveness in world cricket, noting, "Those times are gone" when Indian pitches guaranteed home advantage. India, trailing 0-2 in the three-match series, suffered their first home Test series loss in 12 years. De Villiers praised Indian batters but highlighted New Zealand's adaptability to Indian conditions. Using Virat Kohli's success in South Africa as an example, he suggested that global teams now better understand spin, making games in India more balanced.
