Vernon Philander suffered a freak
injury two days prior to the second
India-South Africa Test to be held in
Bengaluru on Saturday (November 14)
and has been ruled out of the Test
series. The pacer suffered the injury
during South Africa's practice session
in the Chinnaswamy ground, and was
seen being carried off the field by the
medical staff. Kyle Abbott has been
called up to replace Philander, and will
join up with the squad on Friday
morning. Abbott last played a Test
match for South Africa against the
West Indies in December 2014.
AB de Villiers later revealed at the
press conference that Philander
accidentally stepped on Dean Elgar's
foot while practising, and
subsequently injured his leg. De
Villiers also added that Philander has
been sent to the hospital .... Read more @: Philander out of Test series with freak injury - Cricbuzz

Indians have done better job playing at fast pitches compared to spin in recent years;)

Only last ODI they bowled badly, it doesn't meant that they always consider runs like last ODI. Once shami backs you can expect some good bowling from them;)
