It is not easy to find a solution to any problem. It takes time, it takes hard work, it requires intention. But even before this there is a step, without which the solution cannot be found. This is identifying the problem and accepting it. Only if someone accepts that there is a problem, then work is done to find its solution. If its existence is blindly denied then the problem cannot be solved. This applies most accurately to the Indian cricket team at this time. There is concern about the performance of the team's veteran batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli against spin bowling. The bigger concern is that the team management is not accepting this problem.

kneeling against the spinners

The Indian team, which has lost the Test series against New Zealand, is now busy preparing for the last Test match to be held in Mumbai. This is the last chance for Team India to get some relief for itself in the series. Meanwhile, news is coming that Team India has demanded such a pitch in Wankhede Stadium, which gives full support to the spinner from the first day itself, which is called 'Rank Turner' in the language of cricket. This has surprised everyone because earlier in the test match played in Pune, New Zealand spinners had devastated Team India. In the match, 19 out of 20 wickets of India were taken by the spinners, out of which 13 were taken by Mitchell Santner alone.

The team is not ready to accept the problem

This is not the first time that Indian batting has collapsed like this in a Test match against spinners on its own soil. Rather, the situation has gradually worsened in the last 4-5 years and this applies not only to Test cricket but to every format. In such a situation, it is expected that the veteran Indian batsman and the coaching staff will try to correct this weakness but here they are not ready to accept the problem. Two days before the Mumbai Test, when the team's assistant coach Abhishek Nair was asked about the weak performance against spin, he called it a strong statement and said that there are some days when the batsmen score runs quickly and sometimes- Can never do this.

Former Indian batsman Nair also said that whenever you try to achieve something special, there can be a decline (in performance) because you try to play a different kind of cricket and take yourself out of your comfort zone. try to. He admitted that in such situations, sometimes the results do not go in favor but it is important to be patient because after this, when good times come, the performance gets better.

truth cannot be hidden from words

Now whatever the assistant coach may say, the truth is that Indian batsmen, especially big names like Rohit, Virat, Shubman Gill, are struggling against spinners. Kohli and Rohit have easily given wickets to the spinners in the last several innings and every foreign team has taken advantage of this, which affects the overall performance of Team India. Kohli has lost his wicket against spinners about 20 times in the last 4 years, while Rohit is sometimes bowled by left-arm spinners and sometimes gets bowled by off-spinners. In such a situation, if we do not consider this a problem and work on finding a solution as soon as possible, then the times to come will be bad for Team India.
