IS INDIA FINDING IT TOUGH TO FACE QUALITY SPIN??? REASONS EXPLAINED

                                       

                            1991 is the year when i was on to this earth. Started watching cricket at the age of 10. Those were the days when i not even knew what a googly means, what exactly is doosra, forget about the variations i didn't even  knew the difference between leg n off spin. All that i knew was when ever an Indian batsman is facing a bowler who takes a few steps to deliver a ball (spinner) it is not going to yield him a wicket. That is the confidence I had after watching many matches were a spinner finds it very difficult to pick a wicket against India. But now, time have changed a lot were Indians are not even able to face a part time spinner. There may be many reasons(quality of spinners in our country, T20, no turning tracks in domestic games etc) here are my picks which lead to down fall of Indian batsmen against spin.

                        Lack of quality spinners in the side, back in those days there were spinners in the Indian outfits who have dominated the game with there show. There was  lot of competition among themselves to fill the spin quota which was best among the best where as now a days the competition was best among the worst. If there aren't any quality spinners in your country you will have to play against second grade spinners in domestic competitions, which will make you the best against second grade but worst against first grade

                             Though there are some premier spinners in the ranks they will never turn up to ranji trophy citing there own personal reasons or international schedule. they do play ranji matches only to find a place in the international squad. As a result the upcoming batsmen don't get chance to face a good spinner and they will be on the lower end compared to their seniors

                      Laying green tracks during domestic competitions and a crumbling wicket during international fixtures will not aid the batsmen. As they haven't played a spinner on a turner in domestic series all of a sudden facing an international standard spinner in the international cricket. Different countries do have different types of wickets which will be the same for the domestic and international matches. where as India is the only country to have different tracks for domestic and international

      

                            Taking the things for granted by boasting of their past records. A lot of pressure will be created by the pacers and suddenly in comes a part time spinner whom Indians would like to take for granted as they are traditionally good against them and try to milk out as many runs as possible and ends up giving wicket to him. Then other batsmen feel cautious about the so called part timer who turned out to be a hero. That ends up handing him a fifer

             

                       To over come all these challenges there should be turning tops in domestic competition and all the premier spinners to take part in domestic matches
