Sure, but the result is heavily in favour of India. Much fewer whitewashed, but we won everything unlike them. A 12 years long run of not just losing no series, but winning everyone as well. Imo, it's just much more impressive.
Stop being hyperbolic. I consider losing only 2 tests and barely even conceding draws in eight years more impressive. But I am fine with those who favor India but it's not like a obvious thing.
Yeah but they lose 1 test in that home steak. India have lost 5, and 6 if they lose this one.
I ain't hyperbolic here. We had a winning run, them just an unbeaten one.
That's what the Pakistani groundsmen were trying to do before they lost the 1st against England, then they played to win. Zindabad Groundsmen!

If they were so dependent on one bowler, they weren't as good.
Really? Are we going to pretend you guys wouldn't put asterisks on series lost if prime Kohli or Ashwin was missing?
We won a series in Australia with Kohli and all of our best 7 bowlers missing by the Final Test.
We won those series…
Yes and that made it one of if not the best series of all time.
You can't include 98. They didn't have either McGrath or Gillespie then. No Gilly, Hayden, Langer either. The two relevant series are 2001 (freak loss) and 2004/5 (fairly comfortable win).
Honestly, India seem better when Kuldeep is in the attack too.
I will already include Jaiswal for Vijay. Vijay was mostly really good away, but think Jaiswal has done enough at home already.
Then can't include 2005 India as well, we didn't had Tendulkar.
I mean sure if that makes you feel better. We both know he wasn't the deciding factor in that period.
