NEW DELHI: Ahead of the second Test against England in Visakhapatnam, Indian batsmen, traditionally not known for their sweeping skills, dedicated time to practice the shot during their opening net session on Wednesday.
In the previous Test, except for captain Rohit Sharma, not many Indian batters utilized the sweep shot during India's 28-run loss to England. The defeat marked only the fourth time India has lost a Test at home since 2013.
