How will Team India find a solution when Rohit and Virat are not ready to accept this problem?
Finding a solution to any problem is not easy. It takes time, hard work and determination. But there is a step before this, without which a solution cannot be found. This is to identify the problem and accept it. Only if someone accepts that there is a problem, then work is done to find a solution. If its existence is denied by closing eyes, then the problem cannot be solved. This thing fits the Indian cricket team the most at this time. There is concern about the performance of the team's big batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli against spin bowling. An even bigger concern is that the team management is not accepting this problem.
Kneel down against spinners.
The Indian team, which has lost the Test series against New Zealand, is now preparing for the last Test match to be held in Mumbai. This is the last chance for Team India to get some relief in the series. Meanwhile, news is coming that Team India has demanded such a pitch in Wankhede Stadium, which will give full support to the spinners from the very first day, which is called 'rank turner' in cricket language. This has surprised everyone because before this, in the Test match played in Pune, New Zealand's spinners had devastated Team India. In the match, 19 out of 20 wickets of India were taken by 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 the Indian batting line-up has collapsed in a Test match against spinners on their 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 batsmen and the coaching staff will try to correct this weakness but here they are not even ready to accept the problem. Two days before the Mumbai Test, when the team's assistant coach Abhishek Nair was asked about the poor performance against spin, he called it a harsh statement and said that there are some days when batsmen score runs quickly and sometimes they are not able to do so.
Former Indian batsman Nair also said that whenever there is an attempt to achieve something special, then during that time (performance) can show a decline because you try to play a different kind of cricket and try to take yourself out of your comfort zone. He admitted that in such situations sometimes the results do not go in your favor but it is important to be patient because after this when the good time comes, the performance keeps improving.
The truth can't 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 their wickets to 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 also sometimes gets bowled by a left-arm spinner and sometimes gets deceived by an off-spinner. In such a situation, if this is not considered a problem and a solution is not found as soon as possible, then the coming times will be bad for Team India.
