Ind vs SA Test Series: After the clean sweep in the Test series against South Africa, a lot of questions are being raised on the Indian team on social media. Apart from this, former Indian players also gave shocking statements.
Ind vs SA Test Series : The Indian team has come under the scanner after losing the two-match Test series against South Africa. The biggest attack on Team India is regarding playing spin. Apart from this, people are also being made fun of on social media for not crossing the mark of 250 runs on their own soil. Meanwhile, KL Rahul on Saturday admitted that the struggle of Indian batsmen against spin on home pitch is a matter of concern. Let us tell you that the clean sweep of 3-0 against New Zealand in the year 2024 and then 2-0 against South Africa in the year 2025 is forcing the Indian batsmen to think in a new way, because it used to be the biggest strength of India that it was not ready to lose at any cost on the home ground.
did not play the spin properly
Before the start of the ODI series against South Africa, KL Rahul said that in the last few seasons we have not played spin properly. I don’t know why we did it earlier and why we are not doing it now. However, I do not have a perfect answer to this. We can just look at how we can improve individually and as a batting group. Rahul further said that the batsman will have to make technical changes and for this he will have to go a long way. He said that this will not change overnight. We will see what improvements we need and hopefully by the time the Sri Lanka and Australia series comes, we will be better prepared. We will also talk to those senior players who played spin very well.
We will talk to our senior: Rahul
Reiterating this concern, former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had recently said that the poor batting of Indian batsmen against spin has made India among the worst spin players in the world. Rahul said that if Indian players want to gain the same edge against spin as before, then they will have to find answers at different levels. Besides, you will also have to make your batting technique excellent. The captain said that he has not yet surveyed the Ranchi pitch, but keeping in mind the previous ODI matches here, the pitch has been excellent for batting. He said that we will analyze this pitch tomorrow and choose the team that will give us the best chance of winning.
