Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja and Shreyas Iyer are already back in the dugout after failing to tackle the spin and bounce at the Holkar Stadium Pitch in Indore. India is struggling at 51-5 with KS Bharat and Virat Kohli on the crease.
Netizens on Twitter are furious about the Indore Stadium pitch and are blaming the surface for India’s spin woes. Many Twitteratis are claiming that the BCCI needs to fire the pitch curator of Indore Stadium as it is designed to support the Australian brand of cricket.
India is in a dire situation and needs a big partnership to get back into the match somehow. At the moment, Australia is ruling the roost with their spinners Kuhnemann and Lyon, and India needs to start a counter-attack to get back into the match.

Is the grass in the middle portion of the pitch giving a unexpected bounce to the spinners?
Will they sack the pitch curator like they did after a t20 match?

Disgraceful pitch. There should be repercussions. Embarassing.

If you try to cut the ball on a pitch with low bounce and turn and then criticize the pitch you deserve belt treatment

With every wicket that falls, I wonder if the Aussies are getting more nervous about the pitch. #BGT2023

Waiting for any so called Indian legend to show some spine n say how the open licence for doctored pitches has landed us in such an embarrassing situation with regard to a first day pitch of a series where stakes are as high as qualifying for the WTC Final#IndvsAus
