By Admin India vs South Africa The first test match was played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. That match could not last even for 3 days, in which Team India lost by 30 runs. Now the second match will be played in Guwahati from 22nd November. The pitch of Eden Gardens was heavily criticized, but now what should be expected from the pitch of Baraspara Stadium, which is going to host a Test match for the first time in history.
How will the pitch behave?
The pitch of Baraspara Stadium in Guwahati is made of red soil, on which light grass has been left. On this type of pitch, there is usually a tremendous competition between bat and ball. In cold weather, there may be moisture in the pitch in the morning, due to which fast bowlers can get swing in the first session.
Generally the pitch of this ground is suitable for batting, where a lot of runs are expected to be scored. But after the third day or so, the spinners start getting help. Red soil means this pitch will also be helpful for fast bowlers. Fast bowlers can also get good bounce. If the pitch does not behave badly like Kolkata, then a score of 350-400 runs in the first innings can prove to be quite good.
Rishabh Pant will captain
Rishabh Pant will be captaining the Indian team in the second test against South Africa. Regular captain Shubman Gill is currently injured, he had a neck strain problem during the first test. He has not been able to recover completely yet. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant will be captaining Team India in the Guwahati Test.
