After losing the Bengaluru Test, the Indian team will now face the litmus test in Pune. India and New Zealand will face each other in the second match of the three-match Test series in Pune. However, it is also very important to know how the pitch of Pune will be, because the pitch of Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium was not as Team India had wanted. However, there is no fault of the pitch curator in this, because the nature of the pitch had changed due to rain and weather. But nothing like this is going to happen in the second test.
According to the report of Cricinfo, black soil pitch is going to be used in Pune, where the spinners will get a lot of help because there will be no grass on the pitch. The pitch is being prepared flat and slower. The ball will also get less bounce here, but the Bengaluru pitch was a lot of help for the fast bowlers. There was no special help for the spinners from the pitch till the fifth day of the match and the fourth day of the game, but in Pune and then in Mumbai, pitches which help the spinners will be used. However, a red clay pitch will be prepared at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. That match will start from November 1.
The Bengaluru pitch gave an unforgettable experience to Team India as the team was bundled out for 46 runs. This was the lowest score at home in the history of the Indian team. Earlier the team had lost all its wickets for 75 runs but for the first time the team could not even cross the 50 mark. Even the team lost by 8 wickets. After 36 years, India had to face defeat at the hands of New Zealand. To avenge this defeat and draw the series 1-1, the Indian team will also enter Pune with 3 spinners. If the pitch will also help, India would like their spinners to dominate the Kiwi team here.
