THE RED-BALL RECESSION

UNIQUE TIMES

|

December - January 2026

Amidst all the white-ball heroics of Team India, our red-ball fortunes have taken a worrying nosedive.

THE RED-BALL RECESSION

Test performances, especially on home soil have fallen off a cliff. Ever since that humbling defeat to New Zealand, the famed home-turf advantage we boasted about for years has steadily eroded. Visiting teams once called India their “final frontier” because of our invincible run of home series victories. Not anymore. Now, teams are eager to tour India. The 0-2 loss to South Africa feels like the final nail in the coffin. The pride and honour once associated with wearing the blue cap in Test cricket seems to be fading within this current group.

Where exactly have things gone wrong? The reasons are many, but a pattern is clearly visible.
