In a candid admission, Indian ODI captain KL Rahul highlighted the team's continued struggles against spin bowling, particularly on home soil. This troubling trend, once a testament to India's cricketing strength, has become a source of concern. Recent performances against New Zealand and South Africa underscored these difficulties.

Rahul pointed to necessary technical and tactical improvements for the batting lineup, acknowledging the need for long-term adjustments.
