Srinagar: Ahead of the biggest clash for the Cricket World Cup 2023 title, between India and Australia, the Team India skipper Rohit Sharma haf a close look at the pitch in Ahmedabad.
At India’s first training session at the world’s biggest cricket ground Narendra Modi Stadium, Rohit Sharma took time out to have a keen look at the pitch that would be used for the final.
Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid were seen having an intense discussion after taking the first look at the pitch before taking turns at the net session on Friday afternoon.
Rohit spent a lot of time in the middle, taking a hard look at the pitch and getting a feel of the hardness of the pitch.
The talk about pitches in the World Cup has dominated the proceedings but India have managed to shut the critics down with their ruthless show so far.
The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch has played wonderfully well at the World Cup 2023. In the 4 matches at the venue, 3 were won by the chasing team. New Zealand comfortably chased down a 283-run target in just 36.3 overs. India and Pakistan met at the gigantic venue, successfully chasing a 193-run target with 19.4 overs and 7 wickets to spare.
The pitch for the final is expected to be another sporting one with the assistance of both batters and bowlers where a score in excess of 260 can be considered par.
India are unlikely to make changes to the XI for the final, having won 10 matches in their longest unbeaten run in a World Cup edition.
