India vs South Africa Test: The Indian cricket team’s batsmen failed to perform well in the first Test match against South Africa, failing miserably. The African team set a target of 124 runs to win, but the Indian team was bowled out for just 93. The second match between the two teams will be played on November 22nd at the Guwahati ground. This will be the first Test match at this ground. Aakash Chopra has now made a significant statement regarding this.
First Test Match to be held in Guwahati
Ahead of the second Test, former Indian player Aakash Chopra said that no one knows how cricket will be played in Guwahati, as it is a new Test venue. Of course, first-class cricket has been played there before, and we’ve seen a lot of ball spin during recent Women’s World Cup matches.
India is used to playing on such pitches: Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra said that if you’re playing there for the first time, the pitch is as good for Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, or Rishabh Pant as it is for Temba Bavuma or Ryan Rickelton. So it’s a challenge for both teams. But we’re still playing in India. We grew up playing on such surfaces. Yes, Guwahati may be different, but the soil must have come from somewhere in India. We’ll want to trust and back ourselves to learn these conditions and adapt to them much faster, even if they seem a little different to us, than someone who grew up in Johannesburg and has played all his cricket at the Wanderers.
If the regular captain is unable to play due to neck spasms, Aakash Chopra said that Sai Sudarshan should be selected to bat at the crucial number three position. He missed the first match against South Africa.
