BCCI must prepare pitches favorable for fast bowlers at domestic level. Our bowlers can generate pace but lack experience to bowl on fast pitches. This is opinion of Surinder Khanna on radio commentary.

India is a really diverse country, we can afford to have all kind of pitches to coexist in India. BCCI should create good wickets through out India
The solution could probably be a fast bowling coach like Wasim Akram/ Allan Donald/Ian Bishop/Glen Mc grath and spin coach like Shane Warne/Anil Kumble/Abdul Kadir, along with a chief coach like Steeve Waugh/ Ian Botham/ Lance Klusener. Hopefully this could solve the problem.
What really plague Indian cricket is lack of a good bowling coach and India should have done this years ago. Their test team should comprise 5 bowlers and 5 batsmen and if wicket keep is a good batsman, he can fill in the sixth slot of the batman. Somebody like Sanju Samson should be drafted into the team at the earliest so that India can have the best WK once Dhoni retires. It has been proved by Saha and others that they are nowhere near to Dhoni, Kirmani or Farooq engineer. Let India play with five frontline bowlers, 3 pacemen and 2 spinners, with a part timer like Jadeja filling in for an alternative option.
