Playing Little Late And Closer To Body Is Better, Jaffer Tells Young Indian Test Batters
With Virat Kohli: India’s Test batting has been historically vulnerable to England’s swing and seam bowling, resulting in only three series victories for the visitors across many years of touring the country. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retiring from Tests, India’s young batters face a stern examination when the upcoming series starts at Headingley in Leeds on Friday.
The essential guide to batting successfully in England is uncomplicated, but the Indian batters have previously struggled with patience, particularly when the Dukes ball is swinging – either in the air or off the pitch, thus unsettling them further. In England’s swing bowling conditions, the newly appointed captain, Shubman Gill, and his fellow batsmen will have their batting techniques rigorously tested.
Wasim Jaffer, the former India opener who was a part of the team that won the Test series in England 1-0 in 2007, explains the uniqueness behind the country presenting varied challenges to batters when the series moves from north to south and on various grounds.
