Edgbaston 18

Edgbaston 2018...  We gift wrapped that game to Poms. 

Christchurch 2020.. I am not sure I will be getting over that defeat soon. 

 

Plenty of plays n misses in few other games where we were outplayed..  These two games recently were absolute shocker.

[Serpico]

36/9

 

worst match i have seen but it did elevate the enjoyment in next three matches

[speed_thrills]

Chennai, 1999, nothing beats the pain of that match if you are old enough.

[Prabhdeep Singh]

Galle 2015

[coffee_rules]

Chennai 99

Bangalore 87 and 05 hurts a lot

No lost is bad. All of them are because of incompetence of BCCI. Indian cricket should be privatized to achieve greater success.

The worst test defeat which as per me and the MOST SHAMEFUL in last 20 years is against Lanka in Galle 2015. Srilanka scored 183 exactly like England in first innings and India SCORED 375. Read it again 375. Lead of 192. They were 3/5 then 5/95 and even 6/220 ie 28/6 at one stage and still Won by 63 runs as we surrendered meekly.. One of the best 3rd innings ever played by Chandimal in cricket in last 10 years.. i still cannot believe we lost that match..no country has lost a test match after taking such a lead in last 20 years..

Yeah this one was pretty tough to swallow at that time but people forgot it rather quickly as we went on to win the next two tests and the series.
