Indore pitch report: First look of the pitch out. Check how the pitch would behave for the 3rd IND vs AUS Test

Indore pitch report: India and Australia are all set to lock horns at the Holkar Stadium, Indore in the third Test of Border Gavaskar Trophy. Indian team has been clinical in the first two games as they have dominated the visitors and defeated them under 3 days. Pitch has always been a topic of debate in this series for Australian media, and with the covers coming off Indore’s pitch, let’s discuss how the surface looks like. 

Indore Pitch report

The first image of Indore’s pitch is out on social media and fans are already buzzing. The surface looks almost similar to the one used at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi for the second Test. There is a bit of green grass cover in the middle and the two ends looks pretty dried up.

Australian media has been quite vocal against BCCI blaming the board of giving favorable pitches to the home team. However, several cricket pundits have expressed that Australian team’s lack of intent and irresponsible batting is the root cause of their downfall in the series. The visitors can’t expect a green top coming to India, and they will have to bat out of their comfort zone to score runs here.

What to expect from the Indore pitch?

Indore pitch report: With dryness on both the ends of the wicket, expect spinners to play a critical role yet again in this series. The likes of Ashwin and Jadeja from India and the trio of Lyon, Kuhnemann, and Murphy would be licking their lips to bowl on this wicket. Once again, a domination from the spinners is expected.
