Former England captain Eoin Morgan has hailed the current Indian cricket team as one of the “greatest” in their own conditions, citing their remarkable home record. India has won 18 consecutive Test series on home soil, a feat unmatched by any other team in history.
Morgan, who was part of the last visiting team to win a Test series in India in 2013, believes Rohit Sharma’s side deserves to be considered among the all-time greats. “They (India) have to be considered one of the greatest in their conditions,” Morgan said. “What makes them so good is their hunger and the desire to want to win. Their attitude towards that they never take for granted.”
India’s dominance at home is a testament to their exceptional skills and unwavering determination. They have a well-balanced team with world-class players in all departments. Their batting lineup is formidable, with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Cheteshwar Pujara providing solidity and experience. The bowling attack is equally impressive, led by the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
Morgan highlighted the unique challenges of playing in India, where the conditions often favor the home team. “We come from countries that have huge advantages for the home side,” he said. “But yet, our records throughout generations are nowhere near as good as Indians.”
India is currently bidding for a third straight World Test Championship final appearance. They are well-positioned to qualify, sitting atop the team standings. They have five more Tests to play in the season, including three against New Zealand and two against Australia.
The Indian team’s success is a source of pride for the nation and has inspired a new generation of cricketers. Their dominance at home is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and unwavering belief in their abilities.
