CHENNAI: The ‘spin quartet’. It’s an idea that evokes a sense of nostalgia and respect in equal measure if you’re an Indian cricket fan. But post the late 1970s, when Bishan Singh Bedi, BS Chandrasekhar, Erapalli Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan retired from the sport, India haven’t gone back to the formula. Now, however, there’s an air of desperation after England’s counter-attacking win in Hyderabad, following which the likes of Monty Panesar are now predicting a 5-0 win in favour of the visitors.
While one defeat can always happen, what’s going to bother captain Rohit Sharma going into the Vizag Test from Friday are the injuries to Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul.
