Sanjay Bangar on India Cricket Team
As India head on in a crucial two-game Test series on their tour to South Africa, the looming statistic that they have never clinched a Test series victory on South African soil casts a shadow over the aspirations of the Asian cricketing giants. Amidst this fervor, veteran cricketer and former coach of the Indian cricket team, Sanjay Bangar, has brought insightful perspectives to the forefront. With his cricketing acumen and experience, Bangar has shed light on India’s persistent challenge in securing a Test series triumph in South Africa.

Bangar’s analysis on India’s horrible Test run in South Africa​


Bangar stated that India’s lack of success in winning the Test series in South Africa is influenced by the relatively short duration of the series, often consisting of 2 or 3 matches. He suggested that a more extended series format, with four or five Tests, would likely showcase an improved performance by the Indian team.

“India have not won test series in South Africa because they play 2 Tests or 3-match Test series. If they get to play four or five-match Test series, it would reflect in their performance,” Bangar said on Star Sports.

‘It’s the bounce’: Faf du Plessis on India batter’s problem in South Africa​


Earlier, South African veteran Faf du Plessis has also shed light on the problems Indian batter face in the Proteas’ backyard. Captain of the IPL franchise RCB, Faf underscored the heightened bounce experienced in South African conditions as opposed to those on Indian soil.

‘It’s the bounce. There is almost one full hand of extra bounce here compared to what they usually face in India. They are used to hitting the ball on the up there, but with the bounce on offer and lateral movement, there is an additional risk at play if you haven’t done it before and are not used to the lift,” Faf said as quoted by the Indian Express.
