As soon as he arrived, the assistant coach revealed the biggest weakness of Team India’s batsmen

There was a time when Indian batsmen ruled the cricket world due to their ability to play spin but for some time now, Team India’s batsmen have been seen struggling against spin. Recently, the performance of Indian batsmen on the Sri Lanka tour was very disappointing. Sri Lanka defeated India 2-0 in the ODI series. In this series, 27 wickets of the Indian team were taken by Sri Lankan spinners. In this way, Sri Lanka managed to win the ODI series against India after 27 years.

Making the best against spin again

Meanwhile, Team India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has admitted that the ability to perform well on foreign soil has reduced the ability of Indian batsmen to play spin. He also said that his first task is to make the team capable of playing spin again before the five Test matches on home ground. 

Speaking to Talksport Cricket, Doshett said that the Indian team had to face defeat against Sri Lanka. India’s mentality has been such that they are very desperate to perform well abroad. Team India’s focus is on doing well in Australia and England. He said that Indian batsmen have stopped playing spin, which has always been the strength of the Indian team, which is why the team has lagged behind a bit.

Bangladesh and New Zealand face off in home Tests

He said that this is something he is keen to do so that the team can get back to the position it was in before. He admitted that he wants to make the Indian team the best player against spin in the world again. India has to play five Test matches at home against Bangladesh and New Zealand in September and October. Both these teams have good spinners. Former Netherlands all-rounder Doeschate, who has good coaching experience around the world, said that playing spin is about bringing mental changes rather than making technical changes.
