The Indian cricket team is bracing for a spin-friendly pitch in Guyana as they prepare for their T20 World Cup semi-final against England. Familiar with the conditions, the team expects the Providence Stadium pitch to offer ample assistance to spin bowlers.

Virat Kohli, who has struggled for runs in the tournament, was the first to hit the nets, focusing on his pick-up shots and hits down the ground. The Indian ace practiced against Kuldeep Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal and faced throwdowns as part of his preparation.

Skipper Rohit Sharma confirmed that the team would not play four spinners, despite the spin-friendly conditions. Instead, the team is prioritizing a balanced approach, confident in their readiness for the challenge posed by England's spinners Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali, and Liam Livingstone.
