#2 Quality of spinners in domestic circuit

Indian Spinners are Inspired by T20 cricket

With all due respect to them, the spinners in Indian domestic circuit are highly inspired by T20 cricket. They are dependent on batsmen making mistakes rather than them forcing the batsmen to do so.

Of course, this has to do a lot with the nature of pitches they play on, but they rely heavily on natural variation from the pitch. They are phenomenal performers in the limited overs game but when it comes to four day or five day games, they still need a lot to learn to match the quality of spinners in International cricket.

The quality of spin bowling is completely different in Indian domestic cricket from International cricket and so, the Indian batsmen find it hard to adjust against quality spinners.
