Batting nice Sunil Gavaskar feels that India are making spin-friendly tracks as they do not have a high quality fast-bowling unit at their disposal presently. The former India captain stated that the hosts might need made extra sporting wickets if star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was out there to steer the bowling assault. Australia outplayed India within the third Test in Indore and gained by 9 wickets on a pitch, that had real assist for spinners from the morning session of Day 1.
“Taking 20 wickets is not going to be easy in India. On a lot of Indian pitches, without your ace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami and a slightly inexperienced Mohammed Siraj, I don’t think that bowling attack is such (strong). But with a little bit of help from a dry pitch, India can probably take 20 wickets. I think that is the thinking behind preparing such pitches,” Gavaskar stated on India Today.
With a spot within the World Test Championship (WTC) closing up for grabs, Gavaskar added that India had no different choice however to supply rank turners within the sequence.
“For India to reach the World Test Championship Final, they did not have any other options (than producing turning tracks). If you would have had a strong attack, maybe you could have done something different but your strength is your spinners and therefore I think these pitches are being made. You do not want a flat pitch where the batters go out and dominate. These pitches are testing the temperament of the batters,” he added.
