India vs Australia 3rd Test: Twitter reacts as Indore Pitch Rated Poor On Day 1

On Day 1 of the third Test, which is now taking place at the Holkar Stadium in Indore, Australia’s Matt Kuhnemann and Nathan Lyon each shared three wickets as the visitors bamboozled India. Rohit Sharma (12) and Shubman Gill (21) accumulated 27 runs for the first wicket after deciding to play before being quickly removed by Kuhnemann. Lyon’s delivery, which nipped back in sharply after hitting the ground, utterly caught Cheteshwar Pujara off guard, leading to his dismissal for a cheap price. Up the order, Ravindra (4) Jadeja was moved, but he too lost his wicket.

Next, Kuhnemann scored his third wicket of the innings when Shreyas Iyer mistimed a cut and whacked one back onto his stumps.

When KS Bharat (17) and Virat Kohli (22) stabilised India with a 25-run partnership, Todd Murphy removed the former to put the hosts in danger. After that, Lyon struck again in the last over before lunch when Steve Smith’s valiant review brought Bharat to his knees.

Following this, Fans and industry professionals criticised the surface on social media while the Australian bowlers enjoyed a session to remember. Various twitter reactions are coming regarding this such as Wasim Jaffer, a former India hitter, posted on Twitter, “Looking at the pitch, I presume Siraj and Umesh are also rested for this test.” Shami was also rested, according to Jaffer.

This is how former cricket players and fans have criticized the Indore pitch in numerous ways on social media.

Axar Patel (batting six) and Ravichandran Ashwin (batting one) were at the wicket as India was reduced to 84 for seven at lunch.
