India spin coach suggests free hits in Tests to reduce no-balls

India spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule suggested introducing free hits in Test cricket to reduce the number of no-balls bowled by spinners. Ravindra Jadeja has bowled 88 no-balls since 2021, more than any other spinner, prompting renewed focus on the issue during the Colombo Test. Bahutule said the team continues to work on take-off positions with Jadeja and debutant Saransh Jain but believes a rule change would help address the problem across the format.
