I am gonna tell you some 5 major reasons for this kind of participation of Indian team in Abroad. Recently India played 5 test match series and once again lost the series by 3-1. So the reasons are:
1. Pitches- There is a change in the cricket pitch of Abroad. Comparatively Indian pitches are dead pitches and the pitches in England, Australia are seaming one. There is a grass on the pitch, because of this there is much out swing and in swing. Indian Cricket Team plays less in abroad and more in sub-continent pitches. The foot movement of the players are according to the Indian pitches and they really feels so difficult in facing 140+ kms/ hr speed balls.
2. Swing vs Spin- Another reason for their bad performance is the bowling. Our Indian bowlers are much specialised in spin bowling rather than fast. The pace of Indian bowlers is generally 125-135 km/hr. There is not much swing in 125/135 KMPH. The balls does not seams much comparatively to other bowlers. As the test match goes on, our bowlers rate of pace starts decreasing. The major reason behind this is, once again the pitches of India. Indian bowlers like Ashwin, R Jadeja, S Binny, P Ojha having more wickets then the seamers. To change this, we need to have green pitches in India too. So that Indian bowlers can do better there.
3. Young Talent- Another major reason behind all these are lack of experience. Indian players are not much experienced. They need to spend more time on pitches then clubs and pub. Player like Kohli is having so much potential but he need to understand that Test Cricket is not like 50-50, only after spending time on pitch he can score more. Seniors should always teach them on field. So it would improve their performance.
4. IPL (Indian Premier League)- IPL is all over the fans of India. But have you ever give it a thought that these 2 months of cricket how badly affects the player? Due to the lack of rest and continuously cricket whole year. Indian players get injured and they have to compromise with such big tours. I think BCCI should organise these kinds of league once in 2-3 years. So the fun of 20-20 too will be there and chances of injury will be less.
5. Media- The major factor behind the performance is indirectly media. They discourage the player to that extent from there they are only left with retirement only. VVS Laxman, after the England tour he was so much in papers and tv channels that at last he end up his carrier where he could have played for 1 year more. Media should not allowed to judge on the basis of one performance. Last year Shikhar Dhawan was the highest scorer during Champions Trophy in England, he is having one of the fastest test century but as his performance goes down, he is now in paper and have to manage with all the bad stuffs. Media stops them to concentrate and it results in a bad performance.
If these 5 reasons will be fulfilled, automatically the performance of Indian team will improve.
