Like always, this time too all eyes are on the pitch. Rank turner pitch has not been seen in even a single match in this series so far. Till now, the teams have had to face such pitches in which there has been a fair competition between bat and ball. Now, the third test match will be played in Rajkot and everyone has only one question in their mind that how will the pitch of Rajkot be for this match?
In the initial glimpse of the pitch, it seemed that there was grass on the surface, which could prove helpful for the fast bowlers. However, the grass was cut just a day before the match indicating that it could be a flat track where the batsmen would dominate. This means that this is potentially going to be a high-scoring encounter, where batsmen from both teams can score a lot of runs.
With key players like KL Rahul sidelined due to injury and uncertainties over the fitness of Ravindra Jadeja, the Indian think tank is facing many problems regarding the team combination. The biggest headache for the team management will be that who should be selected in the team between Sarfaraz Khan or Devdutt Padikkal.
Talking about Sarfaraz Khan, his record in domestic cricket is excellent, because of that he cannot be ignored. There itself Padikkal cannot be ignored considering his recent form, which is a difficult decision for the selectors.
