India’s long home dominance in Test cricket has crashed in the past year. Once unbeatable under Virat Kohli, the team has now lost two home series in a single year for the first time in four decades. New Zealand beat India 0–3 last year, and South Africa have now won 2–0. Many key players retired or left Tests, and Gautam Gambhir’s new team has struggled with unstable plans and frequent changes. Senior players say there is no clear path for transition. India have lost five of their last seven home Tests, raising major concerns about direction and leadership. (PC: India Today)
