It seems to be some grass. It doesn’t look to have too many demons or look too spicy. Obviously there will be a challenge with the new ball but if you get through it’s always a god batting track. ” He said.

Rohit’s constant failures
Even though the Indian captain has been consistently failing, he continued to be part of the playing XI, taking a spot that could have gone to other deserving players. In the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Sharma has scored only 31 runs in five innings, and this poor form has been ongoing since the New Zealand series at home. His try at batting in the middle order didn’t work, and going back to the opener’s spot didn’t improve things either. Eventually, India had no choice but to drop Rohit.
