New Delhi. It would not be wrong to say that the Indian cricket team lost to New Zealand on a friendly pitch in Pune. Indian batsmen continued to struggle against New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner’s balls. Despite this, the Indian team management has once again demanded a ‘Rank Turner’ pitch from the Mumbai Cricket Association in the third and final Test match. The third and final Test match of the series between India and New Zealand will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from Friday (November 1). India is in danger of a clear victory in this series. The Indian team has lost two Tests in a row. In the third test she will fight for her credibility.

The Indian Express quoted a source as saying, “This will be a change-of-order pitch.” The team management has recommended preparing such a pitch that will help the spin bowlers from day one. The Indian team wants to follow the tried and tested formula. It is clear from this that the magic of spin bowlers will be seen in Mumbai too. Pune’s pitch, while not top-notch, was quite slow. There were different jumps as the game progressed. 19 of India’s 20 wickets were taken by spin bowlers. Spinner Mitchell Santner alone took 13 wickets.

Team India should not fall into its own trap.
If the Indian team has called for a range-turner pitch, they may have to face the consequences. Because the New Zealand team includes two world-class spinners. Mitchell Santner and Ajaz Patel can become a problem for the Indian batsmen. However, as soon as the team lost the second Test match, fast bowler Harshit Rana was included in the team. By giving Bumrah a rest in the third Test, Harshit could get a chance to make his debut.

The India-Australia Test was completed within 3 days
The Wankhede Stadium pitch is made of red soil which will cause difficulty for the batsmen. Here the ball bounces more strongly. Spinning and bouncing on this wicket is helpful for both types of bowlers. The game could end early in Mumbai. In 2004, the India vs Australia Test match ended within three days. On this wicket, the Australian team had only 93 runs in the fourth innings. In two of the last three test matches, the game did not take place on the 5th day.
