India's seamers have relied heavily on pace and line-and-length bowling through the series, but the Bengaluru pitch rewards a different approach. Cutters and hit-the-deck deliveries tend to be effective at Chinnaswamy, particularly in the middle and death overs.

Introducing more variations, including slower balls and change-of-pace deliveries, could make India's seam attack harder to read. With the series on the line, the bowlers will need to adapt their plans to the conditions at Bengaluru rather than sticking to a single template.
