I don’t assume the Indian bowling assault is robust…..due to this fact I believe these pitches are being made: Sunil Gavaskar

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes the first cause behind India choosing rank turners, pitches which have induced Tests which have concluded in lower than three days time, is owing to the absence of a robust tempo assault.

“Taking 20 wickets is not going to be easy in India. On a lot of Indian pitches, without your ace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami and a slightly inexperienced Mohammed Siraj, I don’t think that bowling attack is such (strong). But with a little bit of help from a dry pitch, India can probably take 20 wickets. I think that is the thinking behind preparing such pitches,” Gavaskar informed India Today.

Jasprit Bumrah has been been out of motion for the reason that India-Australia T20 collection final September and per The Indian Express is about to overlook the whole lot of IPL 2023 in addition to the World Test Championship Final.

Gavaskar additional added, “For India to reach the World Test Championship Final, they did not have any other options (than producing turning tracks). If you would have had a strong attack, maybe you could have done something different but your strength is your spinners and therefore I think these pitches are being made. You do not want a flat pitch where the batters go out and dominate. These pitches are testing the temperament of the batters.”

Having retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the fourth consecutive time having received the primary two Tests in Nagpur and Delhi, India had been bested by Australia within the third assembly in Indore, leaving the collection at 2-1 going into the ultimate Test.

After successful the toss and opting to bat first, India bundled out for 109 on day one earlier than Australia secured an 88 run lead within the first innings.

In the second innings, the hosts solely managed to attain 163, giving the guests solely 76 runs to chase, which they did early within the first session on day three with 9 wickets in hand.
