India relying heavily on their spinners

India will mainly rely on their spinners to weave a web around the Australian hitters because the Asian Giants are already trailing by a big margin and anything over 100 would make things challenging for them. India, however, lost two reviews in a period of five overs, both of which were against Khawaja, demonstrating their desperate need for a wicket. India was hesitant in asking for a review when Ashwin trapped him in the leg-by-leg position, which subsequently proved to be a tremendous opportunity lost. According to batting coach Vikram Rathour, the team's strength continues to be playing on turners at home.

It is undoubtedly a difficult wicket. More turns than we anticipated. The ball rotated suddenly in the morning, maybe as a result of the dampness. Without a doubt, we could have scored more runs, but I don't believe anyone played sloppy or reckless cricket. As a hitting team, we simply had a bad day," Rathour told the reporters.
