Everything was going well with the Indian team till they won the World Cup. Team India was completely maintaining its winning streak. The Indian dressing room looked completely positive, but suddenly everything changed and it seems as if Team India has been jinxed after winning the World Cup. Rahul Dravid left the post of head coach as soon as he won the World Cup. His tenure was over. Now Team India wanted to move forward with a new plan and a big mind set, but it could not happen.
After the World Cup, the dominance is slowly fading away

Team India had not lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy even once since 2014, but Team India had to face this day too. In this series, even the captain had to be out of the playing 11. Now it seems that the Indian cricket team is heading towards downfall.
Now we are losing the series we have been winning for years

This was the first time in the history of Test cricket that Team India was clean swept by a team in a series of 3 or more matches at home.
The Test series against New Zealand opened the eyes of Indian fans. After this, it was felt that Team India is on the wrong track. Now after not being able to qualify for the WTC final for the first time, the fans are completely convinced that many big changes are needed in the team. Although Team India has won some series after the World Cup, but they are against smaller teams.
