After Nagpur, Smith kneeled before the Delhi Test, you can also read the pitch report
A four-match Test series is currently being played between India and Australia. India has won the first match of the series, which is called the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The second match between the two teams will begin on Friday (February 17) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Like the first Nagpur Test, now the Delhi Test pitch is also being discussed. Steve Smith, the leading batsman of the Australian team, was seen inspecting the pitch during practice.
Before the second Test, Australia held its warm-up session at the ground. At that time Smith was the first to go to see how the pitch was. He observed the pitch for a long time. Also, he then tested the pitch directly on his knees. Even before the Nagpur Test, he and David Warner inspected the pitch in a similar manner.
The Delhi Test pitch at first sight seems to favor the spinners. Because there is no grass on the pitch. As the pitch is very dry, the ball can turn from day one. So it was a concern for the Australian team that the Nagpur Test pitch was somewhat better. However, their batsmen completely failed in that match as the Australian team kept their prejudices in mind.
Team India will take a step closer to entering the finals of the World Test Championship with a win in this match. The Australian team will try to level the series. If Australia has to accept a big defeat in this series, their dreams of reaching the final may also be dashed.
