India lost 1-2 against England in the four-match series that concluded with a draw yesterday in Nagpur, which was dominated by the Alastair Cook's men.
"India are not the side they were. If I was putting together a composite side from the two teams I would start by picking the whole England attack. England, for once, had better spinners than India in Indian conditions," Hussain wrote in his column for 'The Daily Mail'.
"The tourists were fitter, both physically and mentally, and hungrier for Test cricket. India would not have been able to take four wickets late in a day, after two sessions without a wicket, as England did on Saturday.
"India went one up and just thought they could prepare a turning pitch and England would crumble. They showed too much bravado. And England made them pay very heavily indeed for that," he added.
Looking back at the series, Hussain said England showed tremendous resolve to bounce back from the crushing nine-wicket loss in Ahmedabad.
"...But the second innings there proved a turning point both in this series and in the future of this team. Without it things could look very different now." MORE
