Stats show that most individual records in batting and bowling are held by Indians but Australia have won more than twice the number of tests than India.

Thats the difference between team game and individual honors. The winner is always the former.

It is a wrong deduction that if individual honours affects team honours adversely. In fact the deduction is inspite of heroic display of some key batsmen/bowlers, others did not live upto the expectations whereas in Australia, other team members did also their part in seeing Australia victorious. That spirit should come in India.

I agree for the same.. but the stats doesnot reflect the crucial umpiring decisions and the sledging as well as other ..."more than cricket issues" which contribute to winning including but not limited to fixing

I only PARTIALLY agree to you. The stats are "all time" from 1930's or so. We can comment from 1992 or 95 when India started winning and the records of the Indian batsmen mentioned here started. Then only you can compare the Indian batting record with wins - or else it is comparison between apples and oranges. Nevertheless, I agree with the fact of spirit of the game - India should develop it more.

Exactly. India will have records only unlike India wins. Sachin whenever he sees a pitch like Sydney or chennai aiding only spinners he will have a unbeaten century which will pad his averages and come a cropper when the fast pitches or comptetive pitches are in store. We need players like Gavaskar who used to be like a wall when India need to draw the test.
