Former Indian cricketer Deep Dasgupta has expressed concern over India's batting performance ahead of the two-Test series in Sri Lanka, highlighting the challenge of playing on spin-friendly, turning pitches. While he supports the inclusion of spinners like Kuldeep Yadav, Dasgupta emphasizes that the batting lineup's ability to handle spin will be crucial. He also suggests the team focus on consistent improvement rather than immediate World Test Championship final qualification, given India's current standing and upcoming tough fixtures.
