India brought in Bengal ambidextrous spinner Kaushik Maity to train their batters following their defeat in the first Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. "I bowled off-break to Sai Sudharsan, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja and Devdutt Padikkal. To Dhruv Jurel...I bowled left-arm spin," he said. India had lost the Eden Gardens Test within three days.
