Sorry bro i cant agree. Not only this forum member also many senior respected former indian players,many senior journalists also bashed team Indian players. Team India done many wrong thing. They did not done any practice sessions or practice match.
If they doing good things all are praised them. But if they done wrong thing we have full authority to bash them but I agree not abusive.

The comment on Virat after his expression on Fafs catch, 1st test.
If it wasn't Faf, you would be least bothered.

What was your reaction after 0-8 drubbing in Eng & Aus under MSD (1 test led by Sehwag)??? What was your reaction when we lost by 1 run against Zim & WI when MSD failed to achieve the target 6 runs in last over???
A true fan can never bash in hard times. For your info, this was only Virat's 5th loss 34 matches. His win loss ratio (4.00) is only behind Steve Waugh's 4.55 (34 or more matches). MSD was way behind with 1.50 ratio. Ponting have only 3.00 ratio.
Getting SA all-out in all the 4 innings, isn't that something to praise?
Scoring 153 when even no SA player could score a century, isn't that any achievement?
Sorry to say, if you can't take loss, you're a loser.
Win ratio does not show that how condition was .Kohli win ratio is high because he has played only at home or asia or against wi not against big team in overseas .Wait for atleast 1 or 2 year when india play overseas then only compare Msd with Vk (Note-Don't blame me also by saying blind lover of Msd/csk as my fav.team in ipl is rcb and what i said was based on fact)

Fully agree with you. Virat have a lot to prove yet. But it's the attitude that matters. From the very first test, I became a fan of Virat's captaincy. He chose to chase 364 with more than 3.5 RRR where anyone else would have tried for a draw. 1st Test, Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Adelaide, Dec 9-13 2014 | Match Summary | ESPNCricinfo
In this particular match, India was cruising along at 242/3, when Rahane was wrongly given out. If MSD (the original captain of the tour) wasn't against DRS (which give him the World Cup), it would be the most memorable & record breaking win in Australia.
I firmly believe winning consistently in SENA is only a matter of time (with some luck) under Virat.
On the other hand, it's the negative approach of MSD in tests, which was criticized many times by Ganguly, who may be a better player in ODIs than Tests, but always gave more importance on winning Tests.
MSD was still on his WC winning hangover, chose not to go for a win in WI.
3rd Test, India tour of West Indies at Roseau, Jul 6-10 2011 | Match Summary | ESPNCricinfo
A comment on cricinfo: Ohh god. Being in the generation of T20's,calling off a test match needing 86 runs off 90 balls looks crazy to me. Little more info: Needing 180 runs in 47 overs, India was 94/3 after 32, when MSD called off!!!!!!!
This is the match that paved way of that 0-8 humiliation.

Yes, dropping Bhuvi to get Ishant made no sense. Also me too was in favor of playing Rahane (vice-captain or not) over Rohit. But Rohit is the blue-eyed boy of Indian team since long. For the last ten years, captains & selectors keep saying, he's a great potential, it's only a matter of time...blah blah..
Do you remember poor Manoj Tiwary? He made a match winning century chasing against WI at Eden. Then he continued to warm the bench for 8 matches in Australia (2012) while Rohit (& Jadeja) failing miserably.
