'Rohit Sharma is the Don Bradman of turning pitches': Monty Panesar

Hindustan Times  

No team has won a Test series in India since Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar’s heroics for England in 2012/13. In that landmark series for Alastair Cook's men, off-break bowler Swann took 20 wickets in four Tests and left-arm spinner Panesar 17 scalps in just three games to finish among the top three wicket-takers as England came back to win 2-1. It was a rare instance of the visiting team’s spinners out bowling R Ashwin and Co. Panesar got the ball to turn sharply at high speeds and made India’s spinners look rather ineffective in comparison. With England set to tour India for a five-Test series beginning January 25 in Hyderabad, Panesar spoke about the facets needed to do well, Ashwin's rise and more in this interview. That's one of the reasons Nathan Lyon does well in India, because he has a very good stock delivery.
