Gautham Gambhir's request for practice match..!?
The indian team is set to play a 5-match Test series against the england team. Before that Test series, the india 'A' team played two practice matches. Now the indian Test team players and the players from the india 'A' team are set to play a practice match. This practice match is to be held at the Beckenham County Ground in Kent. It has been reported that the indian team's head coach gautam gambhir has ordered the ground pitch manager to prepare the pitch for this practice match. Generally, the indian team's coach or captain only asks them to prepare a pitch suitable for them in matches held in India. There is also an argument that saying so is wrong.
Therefore, those two practice matches did not help the bowlers. Moreover, if the practice match between the indian team and the india 'A' team is held on a pitch that is a paradise for batting, then the playing eleven for the upcoming Test series cannot be decided on that basis. Similarly, if it is held on a field with more green grass, it will be in favor of the fast bowlers. That is why gautam gambhir has asked for a pitch that is equal for both sides. The first Test match against the england team is scheduled to start from june 20. A total of five Test matches will be held until august 4. The indian team, led by Shubman Gill, will play in this Test series. There is curiosity about what Shubman Gill is going to do in his first Test series as captain.
