“My plan is simple—do channel bowling and use more of your stock balls. We saw videos of their [SA] top four-five batters and planned against them,” Rana said. “There was not enough turn initially on this track, and we had to use our fingers and hard grip quite a lot. But, as the wicket kept deteriorating, we saw more [variable] bounce and turn. There is always a challenge with the wickets, and we are always prepared for it,” Rana added.
