India won the test series against South Africa, but Is it satisfactory?

After the dismal performances of Indian team in the T20 and ODI series against South Africa, finally Indian fans have something to cheer for, in the form a Test series victory

But I don’t think most of the cricket fans would be happy with the way the games have happened in the Test series
All the 3 pitches till now were prepared as the square turners which assisted the spinners from day1 onwards, as Indian team feel that the spin department is their strength and at the same time it is the weakness of South African team
I think this is the new level of home advantage .There’s no doubt that teams like Australia, England, South Africa and many more have done the same by preparing the wickets as per their team strengths and opposition team weakness
How far it is justified for Indian team to do the same?

Let’s talk about our current team, I guess everyone would remember the final ODI of this series where Faf, De kock and ABD have thrashed the Indian bowlers in the worst way possible.
Our bowling standards were clearly exposed in that match.
Our batsmen came outcome to chase the target on the same pitch, couldn’t survive the Proteas bowling attack and suffered a huge defeat
Ok, in this case if we give benefit of doubt to our Indian batsmen that they were under immense pressure while chasing such a big target.
Now let’s come to the ongoing test series
The curators have provided Indian team with the best turning wickets possible and luckily India won the toss in all the games and opted to bat first.
Unfortunately for South African team Day1 was the best time to bat on those pitches, which India couldn’t capitalise in any of the match. I guess South African team would have done far better if they get to bat first on those wickets (leave about the 2nd test, where South African team batted recklessly)

So even our batsman cannot play properly on those tracks, where as in Australia and South Africa their batsmen play our pacers comfortably and our batsmen can’t play their pacers.

So in this way, we are at the loss
Neither we are improving our bowling strength nor strengthening our available batting ability, which wouldn’t do any good for our team’s performance in the overseas (Even Bangladesh started winning in their home)

So as a genuine cricket fan I could only wish for a good sporting wicket, where we can get to see some quality cricket and as a Indian team fan I would be glad if my team wins that game
