A turning track may be seen or perhaps a fast pace wicket may be seen. Kumble further said- The wicket was slow in Hyderabad, but if you played cricket properly then it was a good wicket for you. India clearly needs to change the approach of its game. I think the approach of the batsmen in the first test match was not positive. The footwork of the Indian batsmen against spin bowling was also not as expected.
