India vs. Australia Live Score: Agarkar and Manjrekar’s Pitch Report

“Because the pitch is slightly off-center, the dimensions change and the boundary becomes longer. Bowlers have received some assistance in this series. This track is covered in grass and has a rough section in the centre. It’s extremely difficult, and the roughness may come into play in the first innings. It might be a little two-paced at first. Teams that win the toss will choose to bowl first, and as the weather cools, it’s a great time to bat.”
