Despite the problem of air pollution in Delhi, the players of Team India practiced fiercely at Arun Jaitley Stadium. However, during this practice, Rohit suffered a left side injury in his stomach and he was out of the practice session. By the way, Rohit did not look happy with this. He did not seem happy with the speed with which the throwdown ball came to him. The Indian team has hired left-handed Sri Lankan throwdown specialist Nuan to practice so that the batsman can face the left-arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman of the rival team well. It is being told that Rohit Sharma is fully fit and will take part in the first match. BCCI’s medical team gave its information.
Usually batsmen practice batting at throwdown to gain rhythm before facing the bowlers in the net. During practice, Sanju Samson was seen fielding with other players, not wicketkeeping. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant was seen giving extra time in wicketkeeping. All eyes were on Mumbai’s ‘BigHitter’ all-rounder Shivam Dubey, who was seen talking to head coach Ravi Shastri.
Indian team player and coach Arun Jaitley was impressed with the stadium pitch. The Indian team management and the players saw the pitch and were happy with the work of curator Ankit Dutta. However, a question in front of the field workers and curators here is that in the event of pollution in the floodlight, how will this pitch behave?
A field worker of DDCA told that we always do this check two days before the match. On Friday and Sunday night we will see that dew is making this difference. Not only this, we will also check how difficult it will be for batsmen to face the fast ball on this pitch after the confluence of floodlights and pollution. As far as pitch is concerned, we have made it like a pure T20 pitch.
Earlier, though the pitch at Jaitley Stadium was in the news for bad reasons. The ball did not hit the bat properly and the players had trouble playing the shot openly. At the same time a member of the team management said that a lot of runs should be scored on T20 wickets and the pitch of Jaitley Stadium looks very good. There is freshness in the pitch and coach Ravi Shastri and the whole team looked impressed.
Rohit Sharma will captain the blue side in absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli against the Bangladesh team who are also missing Shakib in their squad.
