Sanjay Bangar, a former cricketer of India, has claimed that India’s failure to win a single Test series in the country is not because of a lack of cricketing skills. Speaking on Star Sports, Bangar said that India has never had a full-fledged Test series in which they could have adapted to the conditions more effectively.
“India have not won test series in South Africa because they play 2 Tests or 3-match Test series. If they get to play four or 5-match Test series, it would reflect in their performance,” Sanjay Bangar said on Star Sports.
This time, Bangar believes India have a good chance to win the series. He explained that the first Test will be played at Centurion, which lacks pace compared to other stadiums,. This will give the team a chance to get accustomed to the conditions before facing the Proteas in Cape Town, according to Bangar.
