Former captain and ex-BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly hailed India's performance after their win in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia and said that the hosts play better than any other team on spin-friendly pitches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ravindra Jadeja's best bowling figures in an inning in Test cricket (7\/42) along with Ravichandran Ashwin's spin masterclass helped India rout Australia by six wickets in the second Test within three days to go 2-0 up in the four-match series on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Not surprised by India's 2nd Test win... congratulations to Indian team... on turning pitches they bat and bowl better than any opposition at any stage of the game," Ganguly tweeted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia had been much better in the second Test, scoring a competitive score in the first innings before having India 139\/7 on day two. But Axar Patel's 74 changed the face of the match, leaving the visitors with just a one-run lead in a match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On day three, Australia went from 1\/65 to all out for 113, with attempts to sweep Indian spinners backfired as Steve Smith, Matthew Renshaw and captain Pat Cummins all dismissed while trying to play the same shot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the fourth straight time with a six-wicket win at the Arun Jaitley stadium by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The third Test of the series will take place from March 1 to 5 at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
