India’s Batting Coach Sitanshu Kotak Said The Track Here Blad Continue to Offer Assistant to the Slow Bowlers.
“Wickets change a bit obvious, but here it has not changed the tendency much. Didn’t the Middle-Order Gave Some Runs, “He said.
Kotak said the middle-order batters getting some runs during the semifinal match against Australia too was a welcome sign.
“Till now, there was not much need for power Hitting and in the last match it also happened,” He added.
Kotak said Indian batters can adapt to any a given day.
“Our batters can adjust on any surface. So that is the key. I can adjust to the wicket and obvious, if it is a 350 runs kind of wicket, we might go a litle Hard, OBVIOSLY WILL be pace on the wicket and ball come on.
“But on this kind of a wicket (at the dicks), you try and rotate the strike, and you try to take the game deep and then, try to finish the game if you are chasing or set the biggest passible Target. Pretty Well, “He added.
