Indians can’t play rising ball. That was a notion that MS Dhoni’s men broke in last few years, reports SportsCenter’s Achint Gupta.

The West Indians were known for two kinds of music.....reggae and the chin music (use ambience and sounds). In the last few years their pacers forgot the art of chin music and reggae also faded away as the results were extremely demotivating.

But at Lord's, during the ICC World T20, pacers -- Fidel Edwards and Jerome Taylor played the chin music and Indian batsmen struggled to keep up their footwork to those beat. But now as the scene shifts to West Indies for the ODI series, the chances of Indian batsmen being bounced again is miniscule.

"Pitches in West Indies have changed drastically so I don't think there would be enough bounce for West Indian pacers to trouble Indian batsmen," said Anshuman Gaekwad, former India coach.

Lifeless pitch may be a factor but what is hampering West Indies is also the absence of Edwards. Moreover, it is expected that Dhoni's boys won't repeat the same mistake so soon.

"It is ODI cricket, which will give enough time for our batsmen to make the adjustment and play the rising ball well," said Praveen Amre, former India player.

Legendary pacer Michael Holding has already predicted that short-pitch stuff may not work against India again, but it is the hooks and pulls of players like Yuvraj Singh and Yusuf Pathan that exudes confidence in Indian fans. And that ugly dance to the chin music was just an aberration.
