What did the pitch curator say?
Before the Chennai Test match, an experienced pitch curator has made a big statement about the pitch. Talking to ‘PTI-Bhasha’, he said that ‘It has been very hot in Chennai for the last few weeks. The temperature is crossing 30 degrees Celsius. I have come to know that enough water is being poured on the pitch, but as the match progresses, the pitch will become rough due to extreme heat. In such a situation, the importance of spinners will increase as the match progresses. This may be the reason why batsmen are practicing on pitches that are helpful for spinners.’
