IND vs AUS Test Series: Rahul Dravid & Rohit Sharma ask for ‘Good Test Cricket’ pitch

India vs Australia Test Series Pitch Updates.

Both India and Australia know the importance of pitch in the 4 match Border Gavaskar Trophy which will be played from 9 February.

The first match will be played in the VCA Stadium, Nagpur, and as per reports, Rahul Dravid & Rohit Sharma have asked curators of all four venues to create a ‘Good Test Cricket’ pitch, and not just rank turners.

According to sources who spoke with TOI, curators at the four venues have been ordered to create pitches that will guarantee “good Test cricket” for the entire five days.

It is being said that this decision has been taken because the Indian batters have now themselves become vulnerable against the spin. 

On Nagpur’s red soil pitch, batting is recommended for the first three days. India’s fortresses in this series will be Delhi and Dharamshala. There are both red and black dirt pitches in Ahmedabad, where the 4th Test will be played, and India’s order will depend on how the series is going.
