India becomes No.1 Test team: 5 things that worked in India’s favour
3) India’s strategy of using 5 specialist Bowlers
One of the major hindrance to India winning Test matches outside the Indian subcontinent is the inability to pick up 20 wickets to wrap up the game.
Dhoni’s style of captaincy preferred going into the game with 4 specialist bowlers having a cushion of an extra batsman, this put a lot of pressure on the bowlers who had to bowl long tiring spells which reduced their effectiveness.
Kohli has started a new and a bold trend of going into a match with 5 specialist bowlers at the cost of an extra batsman.
Therefore even if a bowler is having an off day, others come in to fill in the void which Increases the probability of picking those crucial 20 wickets required to win the game.
