What does a team need to win in India?

Not going to win the series though is it. Root did effectively that in 20/21 and we lost the other 3 games.
Albeit we didn't win the game but in 16/17 we had multiple centurions in the first test, sure Ali got 2 in the series and we lost 4-0.
That 16/17 series was definitely more down to us having not a single decent spinner, despite playing 6 throughout the series from memory.

No. They are not afraid of Uncles.
BCCI's only problem is that they believe in false reports generated by indian intelligence about possibility of some passionate young men turning India into No-man's land.

Better question:
Why does a team need to win in India?

We bullied NZ across flat decks, seam friendly decks and turners lol. We've had far more range than net practice Australia or green pastures of England ffs.

Don’t confuse happiness with evil.

Shouldn't winning in India be easy then?
It's the final frontier, is it not? Certainly is for us, we've never won a series there and not won a test since 88/89.

It may seem a bit trivial at first, but it's actually a hell of a lot more complicated than that.
There are many requirements in a foreign land for touring teams to get on the field and be in their best possible shape to perform.
Diet and food is no exception, in fact it's probably one of the most important things to being well prepared before play starts.
Just because you love a decent curry doesn't mean popping into some random restaurant is going to end up satisfying. When you know a good place
to eat that's great, but often when you try a different place it ends up disappointing when you compare it to the food you're familiar with.
I can remember stories from 30 years ago of players struggling with the food and having to rely on a suitcase full of cans of baked beans
and spaghetti to get through the tour. Back then tours were longer, but even two test series these days means a total of about 20 days away.
It's one thing competing against the home team in the cricket itself, but if you struggle with food you're on the back foot before a ball is bowled.
I'm sure you can confirm that no single rogan josh is the same as any other.

If they go for 60 runs off 10 overs then it has already worked lol
You can get lucky for a short period of time in tests with a high run rate, albeit the shots being played lack in control. Cannot repeat that for 3 sessions.
