Don't Be Lion At Home, Cat Abroad: Former Cricketer

Former India selector Sandeep Patil urged the team to perform well abroad, not just at home. He cited Vaibhav's struggles in moving conditions, saying India cannot be "a lion at home and a cat abroad." India won just one of 10 white-ball matches in Ireland and England in 2026. They now tour New Zealand, where the Test series is crucial for WTC 2027 qualification.
