The hazard tamers

The India Test side is often accused of only performing in friendly conditions, but over the recent past a strange new pattern has emerged. In November, Virat Kohli declared the India innings and put his own team in the field after Sri Lanka's bowlers got ill in the dangerously polluted Delhi air. Now, in South Africa, on a Wanderers pitch that several former players considered unsafe - and on which even South Africa's best batsmen would have preferred not to play - India battled bravely on to victory, and even chided the opposition for being less keen on the contest than they were. The message to their future opponents is clear: put India on a pitch with a little bit of grass and they may struggle, but put them in conditions potentially injurious to human health - at oxygen-deprived altitude, say, or in the crater of an active volcano - and they will not only dominate the match, their captain will swear copiously at you while they do.
