NEW DELHI: All eyes will be on spinners as they may have a subtler, but significant, role in the high-profile Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, starting on November 22 in Perth, where pace-friendly conditions typically dominate.
Australia's Nathan Lyon could be a game-changer, leveraging bounce and turn on dry, deteriorating pitches late on. For India, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar -- who was given the chance ahead of left-arm spinner Axar Patel -- will need to be spot-on with their skills to extract bounce and maintain accuracy.
