England big-hitter Dawid Malan feels Indian bowlers are subtly different from each other, making it nearly impossible for batsmen to fully get used to them. The India pacers were better than their English counterparts in the recent intensely-fought Test series and the visitors were leading 2-1 before the fifth match was called off following multiple COVID-19 cases in the Indian camp.

Malan, who made a Test comeback in the series after three years, said the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Mohammad Siraj are different from each other and batsmen struggle to cope when they bowl in tandem.

바카라śThey바카라™ve all been pretty tough. I think the one thing about this Indian attack is they바카라™re all slightly different. They all have different release points and different things they do with the ball, which makes it so challenging you know you can never get used to (them),바카라ť Malan said in an interview.

바카라śIf you think you are getting used to one of them, they just come at you with different challenges all the time so you know it's really tough to pick them. They've all been really, really good this series,바카라ť the batsman, who has pulled out of the IPL ahead of the T20 World Cup, said.

The southpaw, who lent much needed solidity to England바카라™s struggling batting line-up, was also happy that Ravichandran Ashwin was not part of the series. 바카라śIt바카라™s not because he바카라™s not a great bowler, he is a serious bowler. He is one of the best spinners that has ever played the game, but you know, it바카라™s hard for me to comment on why he wouldn바카라™t be playing,바카라ť he said when asked if he was surprised about Ashwin missing all the four Tests.

바카라ś...If you look at the conditions and if you were playing two spinners he would probably be tougher (Ravindra Jadeja). I guess the captain, or the leadership of the Indian team probably had the decision to make between Jadeja or Ashwin and they went the other way.

바카라śThey led 2-1 so you know you can't really argue (with that decision). I'm quite happy as a left hander that he did not play, which is pretty good,바카라ť said the world바카라™s top-ranked T20 batsman. Talking about his Test comeback, Malan wasn바카라™t completely satisfied with his performance though he looked assured in the middle from the word go.

바카라śYes and no. You know, to get a score in that first Test was good.. disappointed not to (have) capitalised on that one to score a hundred. It was a really good batting wicket so to get out the way I did this was obviously disappointing,바카라ť he said.

바카라śAnd then the first innings at The Oval. To get to 30 once again on a wicket that was playing well and to get out was tough, was disappointing from my point of view. You know I바카라™ve come in, I feel like I바카라™ve hit the ball well I've moved well,바카라ť he added.
