Team India’s crushing defeat in the Test series against South Africa has created a stir in Indian cricket. From the media to former cricketers and fans, everyone is angry at the Indian team. One of the biggest reasons for Team India’s performance is that weakness, which is increasing every year and there is no solution in sight. This is the failure of the batsmen against spin, in which there is no improvement and now even the batsmen themselves are admitting this. Star wicketkeeper KL Rahul has openly admitted that he too has no answer to this.
First in Kolkata and then in Guwahati test match team india Had to face a shameful defeat at the hands of South Africa. While in Kolkata the team could not even achieve the target of 124 runs and lost in just two and a half days, in Guwahati it suffered the biggest defeat in its Test history, when South Africa won the match by 408 runs and also made a clean sweep of the series. In both the matches, Team India’s batsmen failed to play spin.
Rahul’s helplessness came to light
But not only in the South Africa series, but in the last 3-4 years, this weakness has been seen in every batsman. KL Rahul himself became a victim of spinners and now he himself admits that he too has no answer to this. A day before the start of the ODI series in Ranchi, Rahul said in response to a question on this weakness, “In the last few seasons, we have not been able to play spin well. The truth is that even I do not know how we were able to do this (playing spin) earlier and why we are not able to do it now. I also do not know the answer to this. We can just try to improve it ourselves and as a batting group.”
