Jurel, meanwhile, went with his own version of focussed routine. He spoke with Kotak, then walked into one of the four nets with only his left pad on. Kotak fed balls from a shortened distance, and Jurel kept reverse-sweeping them. Then two net spinners – an offie and a left-arm option, took over from about three-quarters of the length of the net. He continued to reverse sweep them too, for a good 20 minutes. Over at the other spin nets, Washington had a long batting session, leaving plenty of deliveries and getting behind the line well, without nicking off. It’s a lot of what he did in the first Test, as he came away as one of the few batting positives for India.
