Team India defeated England by 106 runs in the second Test in Visakhapatnam. The Indian team won the second Test match in just four days and leveled the five-match series 1-1. After India’s win, head coach Rahul Dravid gave a befitting reply to those who complained about the pitch. After India’s win, Rahul Dravid said that the team management did not require pitches suitable for spinners at the home game and that it was difficult to predict how a particular pitch would perform over the five days of the Test.
The first two Tests of the current series against England lasted four days. The pitch in Hyderabad was a bit slow whereas the pitch in Visakhapatnam remained flat most of the time. After registering victory in the second Test match against England, Dravid, when asked whether the pitch for the next three matches would be similar to Visakhapatnam’s, said he, like others, had no information on the subject.
Rahul Dravid said, “The trustees are preparing the pitch. We never ask about rank spinners (fields that are helpful for spinners). Of course the ball will spin on the pitches in India, but we don’t know how much the ball will spin. That’s me.” no “I’m not an expert. The pitch in India will help the spinners during the four or five days.”
The Indian coach further said, “Sometimes I am told that the ball will spin from day three, but it starts spinning itself from day one. Sometimes I am told that the pitch will help the spinners from the second day onwards, but there is no help until the fourth day. No matter what place we get, we try to do our best there. We are going to Rajkot. We’ll see what we get. Whatever place is in front of us: “Maybe we can do it.” play on it.
When Rahul Dravid was asked about Virat Kohli’s availability for the Rajkot Test, he left the question to the voters. He said, “The selectors will be able to give the best answer to this while selecting the team for the next three matches.” We tell you that Kohli could not play in the first two matches due to personal reasons.
