In this episode, we dive into how India’s once-untouchable Test record at home has started to show serious cracks. From the shock defeat to New Zealand to the recent loss against South Africa in Kolkata, the “Fortress India” narrative suddenly feels less secure. We break down what these setbacks mean for the team’s identity, the management under Gautam Gambhir, and the expectations placed on young stars like Shubman Gill. Was this just a rare dip, or is India entering a new phase where their home dominance can truly be challenged? Join us as we analyze tactical missteps, selection calls, leadership dynamics, and the pressure of carrying a legacy built over a decade of relentless success.
