News Daily Digital Desk: A cyclone will be seen on the pitch of Nagpur. It will be impossible to handle the spin on the Nagpur pitch. There will be elephants on the Nagpur pitch, or horses on the Nagpur pitch. Before the all-important Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, the pitch seems to be in more headlines than cricket. Not even a single ball has hit the field yet Aji Media has started writing about India’s pitch. Which India captain Rohit Sharma doesn’t like at all. He says that before the important match, cricket should be in the discussion, not the pitch.

In the press conference before the match on Wednesday, Rohit Sharma was saying, “Why are you talking about the distorted pitch?” The focus should be on how the cricket will be played in the next 5 days. There is no reason to think so much about the pitch. The last time we played here, there was still a lot of talk about the pitch. It must be remembered that 22 impeccable cricketers will play on this pitch. So there is no need to talk much about the pitch. Just play good cricket.”

No matter how much Rohit wants to squelch the controversy over the pitch, it is being talked about. One more thing is being talked about, that is how India’s first eleven will be? The Indian captain has not opened his mouth about it even today. He just said that he will see the pitch in the morning and decide who will be played. Rohit also made it clear that everyone is in his thoughts. His clear words, we will choose the first eleven after understanding the situation. And everyone in the team knows that whoever is playing in the situation will benefit the team, he will be played.

Rohit’s answer to the questions that were being raised about the first XI, is getting more and more. Shubman Gill or KL Rahul, who will open? What will Suryakumar (Suryakumar Yadav) play? How many spinners? The Indian captain did not clarify anything. But his words hinted that the fight to enter the first eleven will be between Suryakumar and Gill (Subhman Gill). Rahul will open. Gill or Surya will play in the middle order.
