#3 Nature of pitch revealed for 3rd Test between Australia and India

MCG

Once again, a grassy wicket has been revealed as the pitch for the Test between Australia and India. However, both Usman Khawaja and Marcus Harris opened up about the pitch, telling people not to get carried away by the tinge of green. The wicket for the second Test at Perth looked quite hard and green but then the contest went all the way down to the last day.

Interestingly, Lyon did exceptionally well for Australia on a hard, green surface and spin could well play a part in this Test as well.

Meanwhile, Khawaja said that the match is still four days away and the pitch could change by then.
