Maharashtra Cricket Association: Indian batter may have succumbed to the guiles of New Zealand left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner, who claimed 13 wickets for 157 runs in the second Test of the series at Pune but India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said saying that the Indian batters have forgotten the art of playing spin bowling is "very harsh".

Nayar said that the team will continue to bat aggressively in the third Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium despite losing the first two Tests rather comprehensively while following the same tactics.

For decades, India have exploited the spin-friendly home conditions to catch the visiting teams in a spin-web and become unbeatable at home. But in the last few years, the Indian batters too have found batting on the spin-minefields trough to handle.
