2nd Test: Jadeja Eyes Early Breakthroughs On Day Three
India vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja expects a tougher grind for the spin bowling contingent on Day Three of the second Test against West Indies.
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium did not offer much turn and bounce, according to Jadeja. On the second day, India declared their first innings at 518/5 and reduced the West Indies to 140/4 at stumps, with Jadeja taking three scalps.
The red ball is not spinning much; the bounce is also less. We will have to bowl more from the shoulders. If we bowl slowly, it won't bounce, and it becomes easier for the batter to play.
Jadeja's experience and tactical clarity will be key for India, who are still in a pole position to wrap up the series 2-0.
