India Lost it All, the Test Team Lacking Of Experience
India lost the 2nd Test and the series in a manner that exposed their growing pains as a young Test side. With several seniors retired and Shubman Gill leading a new era, the inexperience showed in both technique and temperament. Their collapse from a strong position highlighted the lack of calmness under pressure, something past Indian sides were famous for. The batting group, with four or five players under 15 Tests, struggled to absorb pressure or build partnerships. India are talented but raw, learning on the field while facing high quality opposition in tough conditions. Growth will take time.
South Africa win the 2nd Test by 408 runs.
They also clinch the #INDvSA Test Series by 2-0.

India’s Coach Responding, Youth and Experience Needed
“I don’t give excuses. I’ve never done that in the past. I will never do it in the future as well. But four or five batters in this top eight have literally played less than 15 Test matches [each], and they will grow. They’re learning on the job. They’re learning on the field.
Gautam Gambhir defended his young side, saying he does not give excuses and never will. He reminded that four or five of India’s top eight have fewer than 15 Tests, learning on the job and growing through tough sessions. He accepted the mistakes but stressed that development takes time. India need experience, composure and patience to rebuild their Test strength, especially after two home series defeats in a year.
