Specialised Spin Practice at Bandra Academy

India's two openers underwent specialised training sessions against spin at Jatin Paranjape's Bandra academy, where a group of Mumbai spinners, including Tanush Kotian, were drafted in to bowl to the pair. The sessions were designed to sharpen the openers' technique against slow bowling ahead of upcoming international assignments.

The private net sessions at the well-known Mumbai academy underscore the attention to detail that the Indian team management is placing on preparing their top-order batters for quality spin attacks. Kotian, who has been making waves in the domestic circuit, was among the spinners asked to test the openers in a focused, high-intensity environment.

Training at a private academy away from the glare of the national camp suggests a deliberate strategy to work on specific areas of the openers' game, with spin bowling identified as a key area for improvement. The choice of Mumbai's spin talent reflects the depth available in the domestic circuit and the willingness of the team management to tap into local expertise.
