On winning the toss, Australia opted to bat first. India captain Rohit Sharma also revealed that he also had the same idea. It is to be noted that the Indore pitch in the previous Test was a big disaster and the ICC rated it as ‘poor’. So there were big confusions regarding this particular pitch as pictures emerged on social media that two pitches were made for the match.
Now the pitch for this Test, looks a very batting friendly pitch, with a bit of grass top and it looks like it will suit the spinners more than the pacers. But it’s hell and and heaven difference compared to the Holkar stadium track.
Speaking of the match, Australia are in a steady partnership as captain Steve Smith and star Usman Khawaja look to make a mark after lunch. Mohammed Shami and Ravi Ashwin has so far picked up the wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head respectively.
