Indian cricket and its overseas woes

Indian spinners' ineffectiveness in overseas conditions

India's Spin-Twins will have have to learn to adjust to the overseas conditions

Ravichandran Ashwin: 24 wickets in 9 Test matches outside Asia

Ravindra Jadeja: 18 wickets in 7 Test matches outside Asia

The numbers don't lie. Do they? The spin duo has struggled outside Asia and their poor record is testimony of it.

This is because the Indian spinners rely primarily on spin and turn to pick wickets, which more often than not is missing from the overseas pitches. They will have to adapt and use their variations along with the bounce that the surface offers to get the wickets. If the surface has no assistance for the spinners, they should focus on just containing the batsmen.
