Kolkata: The T20 series done and dusted, it’s time to move on to cricket’s traditional tracks. 

Team India, picking up the pieces and positives from a disappointing launch to what is a lengthy joust with the South Africans, will want to believe they are entering their ‘comfort zone’ — the 50-50 format — even as the visitors brace themselves for a backlash. In addition to belief in their abilities as an ODI unit, the hosts will have taken note of chinks in the Proteas’ armour — none potentially more debilitating than a vulnerability to quality spin.
