my post is about "GOAT" Indian teams performance in a decade 2010-2020. No point in counting this and that captain. India Lost 10/11 SENA series in recent most decade (2010-2020) is a fact you like it or not! Read the post before going Jingo.
No. There is a point in counting captains because captaincy matters. Kohli is a great Test captain and he has transformed India’s fast bowling culture.
The likes of Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav struggled under Dhoni but look like different bowlers under Kohli.
You don’t like this fact because it going against your deluded narrative.
Stats will keep ridiculing you here (and like every other thread)...
India has lost 4/5 SENA series in 2015-2020.
only SENA win (and the only win in 2010-2020) came against a depleted Australia that has lost many times in last 10 years at home. Australia has a worst Home record among top 5 teams in recent most decade. Winning against them at home is by no means some evidence of supreme glory.
Winning in Australia is not easy, especially for an Asian team. As a Pakistani supporter, you have witnessed your team getting humiliated in Australia since 1999 and including the 2010 decade.
Winning in Australia is certainly an evidence of supreme glory, a glory that Pakistan does not have the talent, skill and mentality to achieve.
Second series win came in 2021 ... an year later 2020. Again, read the post before posting your opinions.
You choose an arbitrary cut-off period of 2020 just so that you could conveniently exclude India’s triumph in Australia in 2021, since India beating a full-strength Australia in Australia with its reserve side goes against your deluded narrative.
Who are you trying to fool here? No one is going to accept your 2020 cut-off date and ignore India’s remarkable triumph of 2021 because it is your wish.
Funny post for gullible readers!
Kohli ... 33/59 Wins in total... 57 % wins this fooling success rate drops to 5/23 Wins in SENA ... that is hardly 21 % wins which reveals that this 33 tests wins drama is actually based on doctored Home tracks wins while massive away failures where it actually gets tough. Even if we count 57 % success rate of Kohli as some massive success then its merely 57 % win record which is not massive by any means.
compare this to Misbah who took over team of spot fixers, banned players while not playing at home at all.
Misbah Ul Haq ... 26/56 Wins ... 46 % wins overall. 3/11 SENA ... thats 27 %.
Big deal ?
Shoulda/Woulda/Coulda Irrelevant opinion by a fan means nothing.
Misbah’s Pakistan lost a Test and drew a series in Zimbabwe in 2013. It does not get more humiliating than that.
Losing a Test and drawing a series in Zimbabwe in 2013 is worse than losing 20 consecutive Test matches in Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand.
The embarrassing performance of Pakistan in Zimbabwe in 2013 alone kills the debate between Misbah’s Pakistan vs Kohli’s India.
India 2015 onwards have the following achievements which has established them as the GOAT Asian Test team.
- two Test series wins in Australia. No other Asian team of the past has a single Test series win in Australia, let alone two.
- only two home Test defeats since 2015. It is one of the best home records for any team in history.
- longest reign at the top of the rankings in the 2010 decade among all teams.
- longest reign at the top of the rankings for an Asian team ever.
- 33 Test wins for Kohli, most by any Asian captain in history.
The achievements of every Asian team of the past falls short compared to the above, let alone the achievements of an okayish team like Misbah’s Pakistan.
Kohli’s India is the GOAT Asian Test team. It might be hard for you to digest, but it is what it is.
before 2018 too but India played without fear - and repeated in 2020/21 too- and Aus not to lose.( If fortune went in India's favor they should've won in 2008 too. That's another story. ) In fact, Aus team's loss is very similar to India' loss to Eng in 2011/12 in India. They were widely expected to win but failed.
