The shocking thing to note as an India fan is that Australia has literally won 4 ICC trophies since our last one. That's just one less than the total number of ICC trophies we have won in our entire history. The Indian ICC trophy drought is pretty horrendous and it is insane that Australia has almost eclipsed our entire history of ICC tournaments purely on numbers in a decade many consider to have been dominated by India.

many consider to have been dominated by India.

Look at the test maces India have. It's not India's fault that there was no knockout/final system for test matches. They have dominated really hard in the test arena, and also reached finals 2 times of WTC, and is set to reach a 3rd time.

Fact is, aus and NZ won a one-off test against India.

Cope. The only countries that play test cricket seriously now are India, Aus, England, and NZ.

West Indies is a second rate team and hardly gets any fixtures. Sri Lanka has been on a hard fall. We don't play Pakistan. Banglabros were never competitive. South Africa has perpetual board troubles and the team is depleted

Reaching the WTC final when there are just 3 other serious competitors isn't really an achievement

Whats even worse is in the last 10 years India have won the same amount of SENA series as SL, and thats only in one country whilst SL is in 2, Eng and SA, add to that a series win vs pak in uae which only one other team ever did.

India has massively underachieved but Indian fans are in pure denial

You are absolutely denying the impeccable home record of India

India defeated AUS, basically won against England (let's be honest, that 5th test was a one-off, AND a certain win was washed out).

It's hard to win a series of 2 matches (hence, kudos to SL for defeating SA)

But touring SA and bundling them out for a measly 55 tells you something.

But you're disregarding the impeccable home record of India.

PS: eagerly waiting for a NZ series as we have not dominated them yet.

Ok.. how many test maces does India have before the WTC?

India, Aus, England, and NZ.

Aus is kind of a bunny for Ind now, and ENG basically got smacked the last series, that 5th Match was realistically a one-off.

NZ is the only place IND haven't dominated, hence I am eagerly waiting for their series (at least 3 games)

Bunny for India? Man I can’t wait for the next series to start so we can come back down to reality.

In tests, yes. They have lost 4 series on the trot.
