Legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev has slammed the Indian team after their 0-2 defeat against South Africa in the two-match Test series at home. Dev said that India's repeated struggles against spin were not surprising, as many current players do not play on different types of pitches or against domestic bowlers.
India suffered their second home Test series defeat in 13 months. Notably, it's the first time they have lost Test series in back-to-back years at home since 1984. India's batting struggled badly against South Africa's attack and repeatedly failed to counter off-spinner Simon Harmer, who was named Player of the Series.
