Jasprit Bumrah’s sensational spell on the second day of the second Test in Visakhapatnam has left former skipper Sourav Ganguly wondering as to why India prepare turning tracks for home series when they have the pace attack to demolish any team on any surface.

“When I see Bumrah, Shami, Siraj, Mukesh bowl, I wonder why do we need to prepare turning tracks in India… my conviction of playing on good wickets keeps getting stronger every game.

“They will get 20 wickets on any surface with Ashwin, Jadeja, Kuldeep and Axar (for support),” Ganguly wrote on X.

“Batting quality dropping because of pitches in last 6 to 7 years at home…good wickets are a must…India will still win over 5 days.”

Sourav had always encouraged pace bowling during his years as captain and felt that was the recipe for success in overseas conditions. The likes of Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan and Ajit Agarkar reaped huge success under his leadership both at home and away.
