Batting coach Rathour urges India batters to play intelligent cricket in Vizag Test

India will take a traditional approach to their second home Test against England, according to the team's batting coach, despite the tourists' success with their attacking "Bazball" strategy.

After suffering a 28-run loss to England in the first of five Test match series, India are now preparing for the second match in Visakhapatnam, where they will look to right their wrongs. Skipper Rohit Sharma and his team will be looking to regain their dominance in home Tests after losing to England.

The biggest reason for this turnaround was the ability of English batters like Pope and Ben Duckett, to get a hold of experienced Indian spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja with their sweep and reverse sweeps. The England batters effectively dealt with the low-height deliveries by Indian spinners, with perfectly timed sweep shots, leaving the Indian bowlers with no quick answer to their resilience.
