Why India usually buckle under pressure? Cricket is no doubt an unpredictable game but India more times than not buckle under pressure. Australians are known to keep fighting and not give up..that is why they are the world champions..

What you think happens to India and what they need to improve it😕

That is a good point..In India you are either hyped to the Sky or your house is burnt down.There is no middle path..The players need to have their foot on the ground.

I think winning the toss twice and than opting to bowl both time was not a good decision for an overhyped team like India.

yup me too. i think sometimes i think indians doesnt have that quality in them. i mean we are generally not gutsy people, athletes or not athletes. you just have to have that quality in you. i mean we got talent, but where is that special something that makes an athlete truly special.

I feel the Indian team lacks a lot in confidence. Like if one player gets out the batting order just crumbles. No matter how much we hate the Australian team, cos of their sledging and bad behaviour they have this attitude and agression in them they have a fighting spirt.

We hope one day we have a strong Indian team which all the Indian supporters will be proud of. 😊

Is it just buckling under pressure or there are some "other factor's" too?
