Won't Say I Am Afraid, But I Am Concerned About India’s Batting In Sri Lanka, Says Deep Dasgupta
World Test Championship: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta has expressed strong concerns over the side’s batting on turning pitches in the upcoming two-game Test series against Sri Lanka, adding that navigating spin-friendly conditions will be the ‘biggest challenge’ for the side rather than its bowling department.
India’s batters have struggled heavily against spinners in their defeats to New Zealand and South Africa at home. Facing the Sri Lankan spinners on turning pitches in Galle and Colombo will further test their batting skills from August 15-29 as they aim to rise in the World Test Championship (WTC) table.
“If there are bowling-friendly pitches, then automatically there are good bowlers. Saransh has also come, who is a good off-spinner and a person who has been playing first-class cricket for a long time. He can also bat well. In fact, in a Test match, he may not need it that much, and hopefully not.
