The Indian team came up with one of the worst performances in Australia, losing the four-match Test series 0-3, with one more match remaining.
"As a cricketer, I feel ashamed by the Indian team's performance. They are not playing well and have gone wrong in every aspect of the game," said 1983 World Cup winning skipper.
"However, it is unfair to call them names as this is the same team that was world no. 1 only about six months back and was doing well. These are the same players who have made us proud so many times in the past. But now, if they are not doing well, what can be said?," said Kapil in the sidelines of a function 'Go for Gold' to support the athletes for the forthcoming London Olympics.
India have not just lost all three of their Tests so far in the series in Australia but have also failed to play for the full quota of five days. But Kapil refused to hold Twenty20 cricket responsible for the debacle.
"The team was playing T20 and one-day cricket even a year or six months back and were still performing well in Tests, so I don't think it is fair to hold the shorter versions of the game responsible for team's show in Australia," he said.
