Head coach Gautam Gambhir disputed on Thursday that Indian players’ ability to defend against excellent spin bowling has decreased in the past few years, but he did believe that players’ defence has been affected by T20 cricket’s slam-bang style.
at the following Test, India was another time let down at Pune, India, where they lost by 113 runs on a spin-friendly the wicket, ending their 12-year domestic undefeated streak.
“I don’t think so,” Gambhir said in response to a question about whether Indian hitters’ ability to negotiate spin had declined.
“You have to give it to the opposition sometimes, too. In the last game, Mitchell Santner was excellent. However, we will continue to put in a lot of effort and improve. Many hard yards are being put in by the guys in the nets.
“In the end, results are what count when playing international cricket, but I don’t believe that our ability to counter spin has diminished in any way. “Probably keep working hard and keep improving,” Gambhir stated the night before the final Test.
