NEW DELHI: India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, admitted that the team did not anticipate such a heavy reliance on spin in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy. Speaking to reporters, he acknowledged that the conditions in Dubai have favoured spin more than expected, shaping the team's approach to matches.
"There are four spinners... so it could be a contest of spin. I think that coming into the competition, we weren't expecting such an over-reliance on spin, but the guys have bowled nicely, and the pitch has helped a little bit. So I'm sure it's going to be the same for the next game," Ryan stated.
