The fourth Test serves as an meaningful reminder of India’s declining bowling dominance in overseas conditions. The team’s inability to take timely breakthroughs allowed England to amass a daunting score despite India’s reasonable first innings total. This raises concerns about depth and adaptability within the current crop of bowlers.
Vikas Kohli’s remarks allude to a larger discussion on whether India’s pace attack has lost its consistency compared to previous eras. While mere online posts cannot gauge player morale or immediate solutions, they reflect public sentiment around subpar performances when expectations remain high due to prior successes.
India’s future strategy may require reassessing workload management and finding ways to strengthen mental resilience under challenging circumstances abroad. These issues are pivotal given upcoming global tournaments requiring robust form against top-tier opponents.
