Before the match, Rohit has done an important work with coach Gautam Gambhir.
Actually, in the first Test of the series, captain Rohit could not read the pitch properly and he made a big mistake by winning the toss and batting first. The team had to suffer the consequences of this mistake with defeat. But now Rohit has learned a lesson from this mistake.
Spin-friendly pitch is being prepared in Pune
Captain Rohit reached to inspect the pitch with coach Gambhir before the Pune Test. Its photos are also going viral. Actually, the Indian team practiced hard at the Pune Stadium on Tuesday (22 October). During this, Rohit and Gambhir also inspected the pitch along with the rest of the staff members.
If reports are to be believed, the Indian team is preparing a spinner-friendly pitch in Pune. Let us tell you that right after the first Test, BCCI has also included spin all-rounder Washington Sundar in the squad. In such a situation, there is also a possibility that the Indian team can go with 3 spinners Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin.
The Indian team will come out to maintain two big records
The first test of the current series was held in Bengaluru, where the Indian team was reduced to 46 runs in the first innings. However, the team made a strong comeback in the second innings and scored 462 runs. But this was not enough to save the match. By winning this test, the Kiwi team has taken a 1-0 lead in the series.
