Skill Of Modern Indian Batters In Playing Spin Is Probably Not What It Used To Be, Says Ponting
The ICC Review: Legendary Australia cricketer Ricky Ponting thinks Indian batters are vulnerable against quality spinners which resulted in their recent 3-0 series defeat to New Zealand. He added that the skill levels of Indian batters playing against spinners are not where they used to be in previous times.
Though India will be departing for Australia to play in the marquee Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, the Rohit Sharma-led side embark on the all-important trip after suffering an unprecedented 3-0 defeat to New Zealand at home, which is also their first Test series loss at home in 12 years. The visitors’ spinners Mitchell Santner and Ajaz Patel along with Glenn Phillips turned out to be the main architects of New Zealand’s historic series win in India.
“I think the one thing it does probably say is it’s really starting to highlight India's vulnerability against good quality spin bowling. It seems as though the skill of the modern Indian batsmen of playing spin is probably not what it used to be,” said Ponting on The ICC Review show. “Maybe because they're playing on different wickets in India that are probably for the fast bowlers a bit more, maybe because there are more high-quality fast bowlers in India now that they're not playing as much spin bowling as they did.”
