While many believe that attack is the best form of defence when one is cornered, India head coach Gautam Gambhir reckons only a solid defence can help his batters tackle spin appropriately and score big runs. 

The hosts have already lost the three-match series 0-2 with New Zealand’s left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner emerging as their hero with a 13-wicket match haul in the previous game. However, Gambhir is expecting his team to bounce back in the third and final Test that begins at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
