\nIndia are yet to shed their \u201cpoor travellers\u201d tag but head coach Ravi Shastri feels it\u2019s unfair to pick on one particular side when most of the nations have fared poorly on away tours. India have lost two away Test series in 2018, against South Africa (1-2) and England (1-4). This was after both tours were seen as best chance for Virat Kohli\u2019s men to set the poor overseas record straight. Asked how important it is for India to win the series in Australia, Shastri said: \u201cYou have got to learn from your mistakes. When you go overseas and when you look at teams that travel around now, there aren\u2019t too many sides .<\/p>\n
\u201cAustralia did for some time in the 90s and at the turn of century. South Africa did it for a while and other than these two, in the last five-six years, you tell me which team has travelled well. Why pick on India?\u201d questioned Shastri.<\/p>\n
Asked whether he or skipper Kohli has spoken to the team as to why they lost in South Africa and England, Shastri said that it was all about \u201cseizing big moments\u201d. \u201cWe have spoken about seizing the big moments. If you look at the Test matches, the scoreline really doesn\u2019t tell you the real story. There were some real tight Test matches and we lost some big moments badly, which cost us the series at the end of it,\u201d the coach said in his team\u2019s defence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
