Once known as masters of spin — both in facing and bowling — theIndian cricket teamfinds itself in an unusual predicament in theICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026and recent international cricket. Historically, India’s batting lineup prided itself on skillful play against spin on turning surfaces. However, this reputation has taken a hit as prominent batters like Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and others have repeatedly fallen to spin, revealing technical vulnerabilities and predictability in the order.
What exacerbates the issue is thatIndia’s own spin bowling hasn’t been as effectivein the current tournament. In a Super 8 match against South Africa in Ahmedabad, the team’s decision to omit senior spinnerAxar Patelin favour of a tactical “match-up” plan backfired — Washington Sundar struggled to impact the game, and the spinners failed to build pressure or take key wickets. Critics argued that the lack of consistent spin partnerships and over-tinkering with the bowling lineup weakened India’s ability to control middle overs.
Experts and former players also point to structural issues in Indian cricket. Recent analysis suggests that quality spin bowling — once abundant with stars likeRavichandran AshwinandRavindra Jadeja— is less consistent today, with few frontline spinners dominating domestic or international competitions at the same level. This decline in classical spin quality, paired with reduced exposure to challenging spin conditions in domestic circuits and franchise leagues, has contributed to both batting and bowling deficiencies.
Some voices further argue that contemporary batting techniques, heavy focus on power hitting, and experimentation over fundamental preparation have eroded India’s traditional spin strengths. Unless these strategic and developmental issues are addressed, India may continue to struggle in conditions where spin should traditionally have been its advantage.
