South Africa vs India 2018: Five strategies the hosts should adopt to counter wrist-spin

#1 Play with the turn

Playing against the turn has cost the South African batsmen in the series

Over the three games, lots of Proteas wickets fell when the hosts were trying to slog the ball to the leg side, against the spin of Chahal and Yadav. Instead, they should look to play with the turn.

That in itself, is the most important aspect of playing spin bowling. If the batsman plays against the spin, it's just a matter of time before he walks back to pavilion.

The choice of shots from the South Africans has not been the best. They have been playing too many glory shots, which has resulted in their downfall against wrist-spin.
