When South Africa and New Zealand visited the subcontinent in back-to-back years and breached India's stronghold, the security of the once-dominant and nearly unbeatable Indian squad at home was shattered. The fact that Gautam Gambhir's squad has lost five of their last five Test matches due to these two factors indicates that they have a number of problems, which are difficult to solve. However, the flaws that have emerged against spin bowling will undoubtedly be the beginning point.
It's a challenging question, and KL Rahul, the stand-in ODI skipper, didn't have many answers during his press conference when asked why India has experienced this kind of decline.

Regarding India's spin problems, Rahul stated, "I can't give a definitive answer." "All I can say is that, as batters, we are aware that we have not been able to play spin bowling well for two or three series."
Rahul then mentioned Sunil Gavaskar, who has become one of the greatest hitters of all time thanks to a spectacular technique against the turning ball, as one of the luminaries in the Indian media circuit that the squad might be able to approach for suggestions.
"We're already looking for methods to improve our performance against spin, and we can talk to someone like Gavaskar sir and learn from him."When this circumstance arises again..."
With 17 wickets in two games and winning player of the series, Proteas spinner Simon Harmer was the player India struggled against in the Test series against South Africa. However, he now joins the ranks of players like Mitchell Santner who have outwitted India in India and players like Ajaz Patel and Todd Murphy who have had amazing wicket-taking performances on the subcontinent.Rahul went on, "When this situation comes again in 6-7 months in our series in Sri Lanka, then a home series against Australia, how we can do better and what technical changes we need to make, we'll individually try to seek answers and try to do better." India has been struggling in Test cricket for the past 12 months and needs a huge boost.
Rahul reiterated that in addition to having access to former teammates like Cheteshwar Pujara, a model of batting against spin who this generation of Indian cricketers has greatly missed, the team would seek assistance from players from the past.Rahul, who will captain India in the 50-over match against South Africa this week, said, "We used to play spin better in the past, we'll reach out to those players, our seniors, and will try to learn."
