I agree this is a problem for almost every team that travels to other countries, they don't seem to adapt to the conditions and most times lose the series. The only team that was a great team at travelling was the Australian team of the 90's and early 2000's This team would win series everywhere it went even won a test series in India, in my opinion that was the best cricket team of all time as it was well balanced with good batsman that could play on most pitches and a good mix of bowlers. Not sure if we will ever see a team like this again.

Other teams also struggle on unfamiliar conditions, but being regarded as the sole cricketing super-power, the Indians were supposed to fare better. After all, their players receive 10x salaries when compared to the Australian and the British players.

There is no doubt regarding the bad performance by the Indian players, they have played really bad cricket which was not expected. I think Indian batsman should play more aggressively and should counter attack the bowlers, if they managed to get few runs then it will boost their confidence. Too much defense is freezing the flow of the runs and increasing the risk of loosing wickets.

I don't know why this time Indian performance is very poor in England test series. Only Kohli is giving his best approach to reach a high score but all other batsmen are failing to make some score on the boards. England bowling is doing their best to take the wickets for winning the second test out od the series.

We can blame Indian Cricket Board for this because they have resources and all things which can help batsmen for adopting all conditions but they never do any work for this just because of this most of time Indians fail to give positive results abroad and fail badly if they force local authorities for seam wickets and give batsmen some good practices then surely they can adopt and have ability to win series in England South Africa and Australia

You are right on . They are over-confident if you ask me , they have all the support they need and still failing in England and other overseas countries . Many countries doesn't even have a good support from their cricket boards but not in India's case . India has good technical players like Pujara , Rahane who are best in 5-days format but they need to put more efforts.
