India's Test team is facing sharp criticism after a string of disappointing performances under the current coach. The most painful setbacks include a 2-0 series defeat to Ireland and the shocking collapse for just 76 runs against England in Nottingham. Cricket experts believe several of India's strategies over the past two years have been deeply flawed, with poor team selection and questionable tactics coming under scrutiny.

There was a time when Indian fans expected defeats on overseas Test tours and celebrated even a draw as a moral victory. Although India raised expectations with improved performances abroad in recent years, the latest results have revived memories of those difficult days and sparked fresh debate over the team's direction.
