No,no never ever I have seen such an Indian team failing in their home ground in the recent years.The whole Indian team failed miserably over one bowler ,and that is Dale Steyn of South Africa,not the matter why Steyn is the no: one bowler in the world.South Africa registered their win in the first test match in Nagpur making the series 1-0.It was 8 years back When India had to follow-on against Australia.And also it was only their third innings lost as South Africa won by an innings and 6 runs.This was also the first lose of the Indian team under the captaincy of M.SDhoni.
The home side had some individual performances as Sehwag and Sachin struck tons but was in vain as the other team members didn't gave any support.Int the first innings Sehwag alone build up the Indian innings and all others were mere audience.In his second spell Steyn took 5 wickets in just 3.4 over giving only 3 runs.This test match clearly shows that Indian cricket team is a "big zero" without Dravid and Laxman.
Hashim Amla was awarded the Man Of The Match for his glorious 253* runs in the first innings.Dale Steyn was just missed out as he became the first bowler to pick 10 wickets in a test in India.
