Srinath felt the third seamer -- whether it's Lakshmipathy Balaji, Dhawal Kulkarni or Munaf Patel -- will have an important role to play in the three-match Test series.
"I am sure Zaheer and Ishant understand international cricket pretty well. They know the lines and adapt pretty good.

"In my opinion it will be a huge responsibility for the third seamer, as he has to really stand up and deliver. Balaji, Dhawal or Munaf, whoever is going to be the third seam bowler has to really change gear to be as effective or at least 80 percent of what Zaheer and Ishant do.
"In that case, I think these guys (Zaheer and Ishant) will not be over bowled. It is important for these guys to come effectively in short spells before the third bowler takes over," he said.
