Thiruvananthapuram ∙ If India played on run-flowing pitches in the series once morest Australia, the live pitch surprised everyone in Thiruvananthapuram! There were reports from official sources that the pitch with more potential for scoring will be prepared for the match.
However, it was the bouncy surface that helped the pacers and what awaited the fans from the very first ball. The South African batsmen, who have direct experience of swing bowling and seam bowling regularly, were taken aback. Their captain Temba Bavuma, who has played here before, also commented the other day that he will help the pitch spinners.
At the beginning of the Indian innings, the pitch showed its ‘loneliness’. Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli returned quickly. Opener K.L. Rahul also had to respect the pitch. Karivatta’s pitch provided an opportunity for the Indian team to prepare for faster and more bouncy Australian wickets.
