The former Indian cricketer believes that this embarrassing drubbing has forced the spotlight on India’s struggling batting unit, which might have otherwise escaped scrutiny if the series was drawn.

The former Indian batter has pointed out that a draw on the Australia tour might have shifted the focus to Jasprit Bumrah’s absence or potential heroics, but now the focus is on fixing the cracks that have led to the Indian cricket team losing six of their last eight Tests, and that’s a really good thing.
Nobody would’ve washed the stains if India would have drew the Test series: Mohammad Kaif
Now there will be work to wash the stains after the loss because now we realize that we lost three Test matches against New Zealand and again lost 1-3 in Australia after winning the first Test. If we had won and made it 2-2, we wouldn’t have been discussing that. You have six out of the last eight Tests. It's time to clean that up.”

Mohammad Kaif slams India’s batting failures, says spinners masked the issues
He criticized the lack of big performances from the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and KL Rahul, questioning the last time a batter won the Player of the Series in a home Test series. The dominance of India’s spin trio Ashwin, Jadeja, and Axar Patel often overshadows the batting failures, which Kaif believes have been conveniently ignored for the past few years.
Kaif signed off by saying, “Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, or KL Rahul. Who won the Man of the Series last time? Bowlers, especially spinners, dominate and help the team win. Batting gets hidden; batters flop there as well. They don’t cover up, and when you win, you don’t talk about that. It’s now time that the Test match should be prioritized.”
