Kanpur: Batsman Ajinkya Rahane is expecting the Kanpur wicket to assist the Indian spinners.
"Hopefully the wicket will turn. We all know in India that wickets are helpful for the spinners. That is our strength here and it is important to play to our strengths," said the batsman. He also felt team's performance in the first Test will set the tone for a long home season, comprising 13 five-day games.
"Yes we know we are playing 13 Tests. This Test will be very crucial. It will set the tone for the rest of the home season."
