India’s Spinners Are Better Than England’s, Will Be Defining In The End, Says Michael Atherton
Michael Atherton: Former England captain Michael Atherton believes India’s spin attack is better as compared to the visitors’ line-up and added that the difference between the two spin departments will be a series-defining factor.
The pitches in India are expected to favour spinners hugely, with the highly-experienced quartet of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, and left-arm spin all-rounders of Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel present in the hosts’ line-up.
England have a four-member spin-bowling attack in Jack Leach, leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, uncapped duo of left-arm spinner Tom Hartley and off-spinner Shoaib Bashir. From the quarter, only left-arm spinner Leach has played Tests previously in India.
