Sanjay Manjrekar On IND vs NZ Pitch: New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets in Bangalore Test. In this way, the New Zealand team is ahead 1-0 in the 3 test match series. The Indian team has not lost a Test series on its home soil for almost 12 years, but now the danger of defeat is looming over the Rohit Sharma-led Team India. Now what should be the strategy of the Indian team in the upcoming matches? Also what kind of wicket should be made? How can the Indian team make a comeback in the series? Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has answered this question.
‘Now there will be more pressure on the curators for the next 2 test matches’
Sanjay Manjrekar believes that India should make a spin friendly pitch for the next 2 test matches, so that the role of Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja can be important. Sanjay Manjrekar said that now there will be more pressure on the curators for the next 2 test matches. The flop of Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja was a major reason behind the failure of the Indian team in Bangalore, because the spin bowlers were not getting help on that pitch. I think Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja need more help than the pitch. In such a situation, spin friendly wickets should be made for both the upcoming test matches.
‘The Indian team is capable of registering victory by making a fast pitch, but…’
Sanjay Manjrekar says that the Indian team is capable of registering victory by making a fast pitch, but I believe that on a pitch which helps fast bowlers, the New Zealand fast bowlers will bowl better than the Indian bowlers. Kiwi fast bowlers can take better advantage of the situation. In such a situation, I believe that a friendly wicket will prove to be better for the Indian team. Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja can prove fatal on this kind of wicket. Now the curators should prepare spin friendly wickets for the remaining 2 test matches.
