Just Make Sure You Are Not Getting Bowled Or Lbw, Advises Pietersen To England On Facing Jadeja & Axar
New Delhi: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has advised the current Test team to not get out bowled or lbw against left-arm spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. The five-match Test series between India and England begins on January 25 at Hyderabad.
Pietersen had hit a magnificent 186 on a turning pitch in the second Test against India in Mumbai, which set the base for England winning the Test series 2-1. India have emerged victorious in 16 consecutive Test series at home ever since they lost 2-1 to England in 2012.
“I faced (Ravindra) Jadeja a lot. It's about technique. Jadeja is not Murali and he's not Shane Warne. He's a left-arm spinner that bowls it one way, and occasionally, gets the ball to slide on. If your technique is solid enough to play the ball that skids on, you should be fine.”
