Indian Batsmen Face Challenges on Low Bounce Pitch: IND vs ENG 4th Test Match
Paras Mhambrey, India’s bowling coach, disagreed with labeling the pitch as a turner, emphasizing that it wasn’t the spin but the low bounce that made batting difficult. Variable bounce can make batting a nightmare, affecting judgment, confidence, and introducing doubt, akin to watching a suspenseful horror movie.
Several balls kept low in Ranchi, making it challenging for batsmen. Yashasvi Jaiswal fell victim to a ball with low bounce, adding to the difficulty faced by Indian batsmen. Mbambrey admitted that they didn’t expect such conditions this early in the match.

Patidar’s struggles
Rajat Patidar, an experienced domestic player, faced an ungainly dismissal due to poor footwork. His short strides, combined with indecisive movements, led to his downfall. Ravindra Jadeja, sent in at No.5, appeared in haste, making 12 runs in 12 balls with two sixes but getting out. His aggressive approach seemed like a tribute to his past reckless self.
Sarfraz Khan, after twin half-centuries on debut, struggled against Bashir’s deliveries. The confusion in the minds of India’s batsmen became evident as they faced low-bouncing balls under the gloomy Indian skies.
In summary, Indian batsmen grappled with the challenges posed by a low-bounce pitch, adding complexity to their already tough situation in Ranchi.
