Worst home defeat in history of Indian cricket?

[Trichromatic]

2012 - Won first game, Dhoni got stubborn and asked for rank turners which backfired, lost next 2 games to very strong England team. Drawn last game and series ended 2-1

 

2004 - ATG Aus team, still competed very well. Could have won Chennai test if not for rain. Series ended 2-1

 

2000 - SA team with ATG players, got whitewashed 2-0. Still competed in first test.

 

1987 - Lost to Pakistan 1-0 in borefest 5 match series. Last test lost by 16 runs.

 

1985 - Lost to England 2-1, Won first test

 

1983 - Lost to ATG WI 3-0

 

Getting completely outplayed against this kiwi side in both test.

They came prepared, determined. credit to them completely outplayed us till now. Let's see if India can give some sort of fight in 4th inning.

That team was stronger and India came close in first test.

Most of us haven't seen series before 2000s. So, I will say this one was worst. But England one was somehow more painful, as it was a long series and not many excuses for not winning.

This is the worst ever loss. We lost to a Kiwi side which doesn't have Williamson. Boult retired before the series, and the only decent pacer is Southee who's about to retire. The best spinner in the team is a Santner who's not even a first choice in Tests and had never before taken a 10-fer in a Test. This is the same kiwi side which lost 0-3 to SL just last month.

 

So yeah, this is the worst ever loss.
