“This is bound to happen in India because obviously we will play on our team strength. Our fast bowlers are good too but spinners win more matches in India and pick up wickets so why shouldn’t we go on our own strength,” he said. he said she.
The all-rounder reminded Australians that India never complains when green tops are being groomed for overseas assignments.
“When we go to Australia, they put 18-20mm grass. Then we don’t talk about the field, so they shouldn’t say things like that when they come to India,” he said.
