One of the characteristics that stood out when Indian batsmen flourished against spin was their exceptional use of feet. They had the wonderful ability to step down the track and play strokes all around the ground against the spinners.

This would force the bowler to drop his length and they would be more than ready to play off the back foot. Young Indian batsmen, however, are inclined to play from the crease. They try to hit big without using their feet too much and this plays into the hands of the spinners who can now set the batsmen up and bowl to a plan.
