"There's no disgrace in losing; it's part of cricketing life. However, what is disgraceful is failing to compete to the best of your ability and continuing to make the same mistakes. That's what India have done for the bulk of their last two visits to the UK and their most recent tour of Australia," Chappell said of India's lacklustre performances abroad.
"That should have been the springboard to a spirited attempt to stretch that lead but instead it became the top step on the slippery dip to oblivion," the former Australia skipper and Cricket commentator said in his column in 'ESPNcricinfo'.
"If India continue to bat, bowl and field poorly and fail to compete at full throttle under Dhoni's lacklustre captaincy, then another capitulation is certain to follow against a highly competitive Australian outfit," he said.
"Dhoni is a serial offender in those Indian debacles. In all three cases - the first two full series and the last three Tests of the recent capitulation - his captaincy failed to inspire the team," Chappell opined.
