Sachin Tendulkar opens up about the wicket of Nagpur

The 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series has started with controversy. The first of the four-match series is being held in Nagpur. But before entering the field, a huge debate has started about the wicket there. The Australian media complained that there was no facility for left-handed batsmen on spin wickets. Already, the war of words between the two countries has reached pick over the wicket issue. But instead of complaining, Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar asked Australia to win the challenge.

According to Sachin, international cricketers always have to be ready for challenges. In different places of the world, have to play on different wickets and conditions. The former Indian batsman said that there is no opportunity to complain. Indians also do not want to take advantage of going to the Australian ground. As Sachin knows, pace, extra bounce and swing always rule the Tasman side wickets.

That’s why Sachin advised Austtalia, “Those who play international cricket, should be ready to play on any wicket. Foreign tours are always challenging. For example, when we go to Australia, we never expect spin wickets. We know that pace, bounce and swing rule there. That’s why we always have to have the mentality to play on all types of wickets.”

About India’s wicket, Sachin also said, “India’s wicket is always spin-friendly. The wicket is slow. They (Australia) should know that. They need to be prepared like that. I think they have practiced thinking of the Australian ground. Every team is challenged on foreign soil. It should be accepted. I believe, Australia always likes to accept challenges and play.”

However, similarities with Sachin can be found in the words of Pat Cummins. The Australian skipper said he was ready to take on the challenge, even though he was a bit uneasy about the Nagpur wicket. He thinks that this year’s Australia team is better than all the previous teams. That’s why Cummins is dreaming of winning a Test series on Indian soil after 19 years. But he accepts that the work is quite difficult. Let’s see what kind of game the two teams present to the cricket fans in 22 yards of the field beyond the war of words. Excitement among the audience is at the pick about the high voltage series!
