8 reasons why the Indian cricket team has struggle overseas in recent times

#7 Slip catching

Slip catching has been one of the major reasons why India have suffered in the field. The Indian slip cordon has been average over the years, which is costing them dearly. They have not held on to the chances created by the bowlers, and have let easy catches down as well.

Not only does this add runs for the opposition on the scoreboard, but it is also the reason why India have time and again failed to win matches. The slip cordon needs to be alert and should be taking all the chances if India have to get on to winning ways outside the subcontinent.

#8 Virat Kohli’s team selection

Virat Kohli’s team selection is another reason why India haven't been as successful in Test cricket abroad.

On the field and as a batsman, there is no doubt that Kohli is a supremely valuable player. But when it comes to choosing the best combination, he has not always displayed the best judgment.

Constant chopping and changing of the playing XI and regularly tinkering with the combination has had a major impact on the batsmen, making the team lose matches which they could have easily won. Right selection of the team and combination is the most important thing you need to take care of if a team has to win matches away from home.
