The Rohit Sharma-led team came under intense criticism for their performance in the opening Test of the series after losing the first Test of the current series between South Africa and India. India did not live up to expectations in the longest format, losing the first Test against the Proteas by an innings and 32 runs after winning the three-match ODI series. After watching their performance, Michael Vaughan, a former cricket player for England, criticized the team and questioned whether India was the largest underachiever in the world of cricket.
This is a question for you: Are the Indian cricket teams among the world’s most underachieving teams? Considering all of their talent… Indeed, in my opinion,. They, however, fail to win anything. When did they most recently win something? With all of their potential and skill sets, they have won twice here in Australia, which is fantastic, but they have done nothing in the last several World Cups and T20 World Cups, Michael Vaughan told Fox Sports.
They have a lot of talent and resources, but I don’t think they win anything. Michael Vaughan
The Men in Blue’s incredible run in the ODI World Cup 2023 was also brought up, but he was keen to point out that the side lost to Pat Cummins-led Australia in the tournament’s final and ultimately lost. In addition, Vaughan said that the Indian team never succeeds in winning anything, even though they know what strategies to employ and which players to bring on the South African tour.
“To put on a show like that, you travel to South Africa, who are, you know, helpful in Test match cricket. Considering their talent and resources, I don’t think they succeed in any way, Vaughan remarked.
