New Zealand's spinners had wreaked havoc on the Indian team's batsmen on the turning track of Pune. Team India had lost 18 out of 20 wickets on spin bowling and lost badly. Along with losing this match, the Indian team also lost the series and now it is facing the threat of white wash. Meanwhile, before the last match of the series, head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma have made a big move to eliminate this weakness of the team. In fact, it has been claimed in the media report that 35 bowlers have been called for practice before the Mumbai Test. Most of these bowlers are spinners.

Will the weakness end in two days?

After the crushing defeat in the Pune Test, head coach Gautam Gambhir took a tough decision and canceled the leave of the Indian players. The team management had made it mandatory for all the players to practice for two days, whereas earlier there was a relaxation of one day. This means that even on the day of Diwali, Indian batsmen will be seen sweating in the nets. During this time, he will play different types of spinners and prepare to tackle them in a better way. According to the report of Indian Express, the team management has suddenly sought permission from Maharashtra Cricket Association for 35 bowlers. Rohit and Gambhir want to avoid defeat on the basis of these 35 bowlers so that white wash can be avoided in the series. However, only time will tell to what extent this weakness will be eliminated in these two days and whether the Indian team will be able to save it.

Demand for 'Rank Turner' again

New Zealand's fast bowlers troubled the Indian team in Bengaluru, where they had to face an embarrassing all out of 46 runs. After this, Rohit and Gambhir had put forward the challenge of 'Rank Turner' i.e. a pitch which helps spin from the first hour itself. In this, the Indian team itself got trapped in its own trap and had to lose the match. According to the report, despite losing the match, the Indian team has once again demanded a similar wicket. Perhaps this is the reason why coach Gambhir has already prepared the batsmen to play spin this time.

Let us tell you that Spirons are already dominating Mumbai's Wankhede. For India, Ravichandran Ashwin has taken 38 wickets in 5 matches. Whereas Jadeja has played only one match here, in which he was successful in taking 6 wickets. But the point of caution for Team India is that when India and New Zealand last faced each other here, Ajaz Patel had taken 10 wickets in a single innings. He is also a part of the current team.
