# Spinners’ no-ball habit concerns India coach Bahutule 2026-08-26T16:22:37+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet (2 source reports) Spin bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule has called the spinners' no-ball problem a concern after India bowled 10 no-balls from spinners in the second Test against Sri Lanka at the SSC Ground. Ravindra Jadeja and debutant Saransh Jain were the bowlers who overstepped. Bahutule said work is being done with both bowlers on their take-off point. Bahutule dismissed the idea that the habit seeps in from net sessions, saying every session is monitored. He jokingly suggested a free-hit penalty could help in Tests. He praised Saransh for showing character on debut despite nerves and decisions not going his way. Bahutule also called Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha a thorn in India's side, but said the spinners did well to rein in the hosts. Dinusha, who scored a hundred in the first innings, said he wants to contribute more. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Sportstar and The Hindu reported the same quotes from Bahutule with identical framing, making this uniform straight reporting. The coverage flags the no-ball issue but accepts the coach's explanation that it comes from effort rather than carelessness. With no divergence between sources, the takeaway is a technical problem the team is actively addressing.
