Critics have accused the BCCI of preparing "rank turners," which are pitches that excessively assist spin bowlers and make it extremely difficult for batsmen to score runs or survive for long periods. Some have even gone as far as suggesting that these pitches are not conducive to fair play and that they undermine the integrity of the game.

In response, the BCCI has defended its pitch preparations, arguing that it is within its right to create pitches that suit its strengths and that it is not responsible for the inability of visiting teams to adapt to the conditions. The board has also pointed out that other countries, such as Australia and England, also prepare pitches that are favorable to their strengths.

The controversy around Indian pitches has intensified in recent years due to India's dominance at home,
as well as the increased scrutiny of the issue by the International Cricket Council (ICC). In 2021, the ICC issued a warning to the BCCI after the second Test match between India and England in Chennai ended within two days on a turning pitch.

The ICC warned that such pitches could result in penalties, including the docking of World Test Championship points. Overall, the issue of Indian pitches remains a contentious one, with arguments and counter-arguments being made by both sides. However, it is clear that the issue is likely to remain in the spotlight, as cricket governing bodies seek to maintain a balance between providing a fair playing field and allowing home teams to have some advantage.

The spinners have taken wickets in both the matches. The trio of Ashwin, jadeja and axar overcame the big batting lineup of Aussie. Jadeja grabbed 5wicket haul in both the matches. Not just Indian spinners Nathan lyon and Tod Murphy also took 5 wicket haul in the. game.

Australia lost due to thier batting performance and their top order isnt performing. India is 2-0 ahead at the moment. The team combination look quite good and seeing the concistency of indian bowlers It look India will be making it to the WTC final.
