India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey appeared pretty flabbergasted with the crumbling nature of the Ranchi pitch and went on to mention that the low bounce of the surface had raised quite a few eyebrows in the Indian camp as a few of their batters failed to adjust to it.

“From what we have seen out here, generally, the nature of the pitch is that it gets slower as the game progresses. We expected that. But, to be honest, we didn’t expect it to play that low on the second day itself,” Mhambrey told the media after the second day’s play.
