“India Might Win But…”: Sunil Gavaskar Issues Clear Warning For Rohit Sharma And Co Ahead Of 4th Test Against Australia | Cricket News

Former Indian cricket workforce skipper Sunil Gavaskar known as for balanced pitches within the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy after the Holkar Stadium in Indore obtained three demerit factors from the International Cricket Council (ICC). The pitched used in the course of the sequence dominated headlines for being too spinner-friendly and Gavaskar believes that it could actually backfire for the hosts. Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Lyon have been the highest performers for Australia as they made their means again within the four-match sequence and the previous skipper sounded a warning for India forward of the fourth Test.

“I think there has to be a little more thought on that. This pitch has backfired in 2012-13 when Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar spun England to a win. I don’t think it’s a great idea to have pitches of this quality. You want to have pitches where there is a good balance between bat and ball. You want to have a pitch where for the first couple of days, the new-ball bowlers can get some help and the batters can play through the line and score runs. And then from Day 3 and 4, the ball is going to turn a little bit,” Gavaskar informed India Today.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen in Ahmedabad. If the pitch in Ahmedabad is a raging turner, then India might go on to win but once again the pitch might get demerit points,” he added.

Gavaskar is among the many many ex-cricketers who’ve criticised the pitches used within the sequence. India will face Australia within the fourth Test encounter in Ahmedabad on March 9.
