It's The Bounce, Says Faf Du Plessis On Indian Batters Struggle In South Africa
Faf attributed India's historical struggles to the distinctive bounce offered by South African pitches, a factor markedly different from the conditions in the subcontinent. Drawing a vivid contrast, he pointed out that the extra bounce, almost a full hand's height, posed an "additional risk" for Indian batsmen accustomed to the relatively lower bounce on home soil.
"It's the bounce. There is almost one full hand of extra bounce here, compared to what they usually face in India. They are used to hitting the ball on the up there, but with the bounce on offer and lateral movement, there is additional risk at play if you haven't done it before and are not used to the lift. The key to doing well in South Africa is to leave well and be there for a long period," Faf told The Indian Express.
