Virat Kohli and Co. correctly calculated England's ineptitude against spin, says Ian Chappell

India TV News  

England's age-old fallacies against spin is exploited yet again by India in their home conditions as the visitors have quickly squandered their series lead to 2-1 to Virat Kohli after morale-boosting win in the first Test in Chennai. While skipper Joe Root built the foundation for the first Test win, England since then haven't scored more than 165 in last four innings they have batted in with all big guns failing to fire agianst the spin-heavy Indian attack spearheaded by R Ashwin and aptly supported by Test debutant Axar Patel. And former Australian cricketer Ian Chappell said India decision to play with three spinners in the third Test was team's awareness of England's 'distinct ineptitude against spin'. "Virat Kohli described the day-night third Test, in Ahmedabad, as 'bizarre', a word that aptly describes the England batsmen's attempts to cope with India's spinners. India's decision to select three spinners for the Test was prompted by England's batting on a tricky Chennai pitch, where their batsmen - Joe Root excepted - displayed a distinct ineptitude against spin.
