If India Can Bat For Next Two Days, They Will Be In Stronger Position, Says Kumble
Following South Africa: Former India cricketer Anil Kumble asserts that India needs to bat through the next two days to stand a chance of survival in the second Test at Guwahati. Following South Africa's innings, where Senuran Muthusamy scored his first Test century (109) and Marco Jansen made an impressive 93, the visitors reached 489 before India finished Day 2 at 9/0, trailing by 480 runs.
He emphasised that although the surface will still be "good for batting," the hosts will need to be disciplined and patient.
“I certainly expect a little more wear and tear, and I’m sure the spinners will come into play tomorrow. That said, it will still be a good surface to bat on—runs won’t be hard to come by. For India, this is a must-win Test. They’ve had six tough sessions, and they’ll be thinking about how they can bat through the next two days. If India can control the third and fourth day, they’ll put themselves in a position to think about the second innings,” Kumble told JioStar after the day’s play on Sunday.
