Smith’s captaincy challenge in front and green pitch may be in Ahmedabad, how will Team India win?

IND vs AUS 4th Test: The last match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 being played between India and Australia will be held in Ahmedabad. Narendra Modi Starting tomorrow (March 9) at the stadium. The Indian team is ahead 2-1 in the four-match Test series. In such a situation, the final match is going to be decisive. That is, the result of this match will either make the Indian team the winner of the series or this series will be drawn. Along with this, Team India’s WTC final ticket will be confirmed only by winning this match.

In this important match, Team India would like to win at any cost, but there will be two big challenges in front of it. The first is that the front will be captained by Steve Smith, who has been the most successful foreign captain in India in the last decade, while the second is that there may be a lot of grass on the pitch in Ahmedabad, which can be more helpful to the fast bowlers. .

Steve Smith has won two Tests in India
In the last decade, the Indian team has lost two Tests on home grounds to Australia and both these Tests were lost during the captaincy of Steve Smith. Recently, after winning both the opening matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023, a confident Team India was forced to kneel down by Smith in the Indore Test. Like the Nagpur and Delhi Tests of this series, the Indian team management had made a spin-friendly pitch in Indore as well, but Smith defeated the Indian team by trapping them in his own trap. In the Pune Test held in the year 2017, Smith did the same for the Indian team. In such a situation, Smith will be a big challenge for Team India in Ahmedabad as well.

Australian batsmen have started playing spin, India’s trouble even if green pitch is made
The Indian team is also in a dilemma after being defeated on a spin friendly pitch in Indore. One is that he would like to avoid preparing spin wickets as Australian batsmen have started playing spin well after the last three Tests and secondly, if he prepares a green pitch then it will help the fast bowlers more, such a situation Australia’s fast bowling attack can also be heavy on India.

Still India will dominate
It is believed that the Ahmedabad wicket will be such that it will help the fast bowlers in the beginning and later there will be some relief for the batsmen. After this, spinners can dominate here in the last days. Whether the pitch is green or spin friendly, in both the cases the match is going to be fierce. This is because on the spin track, there has already been a close fight between the two teams, but even if there is a green pitch, India has good fast bowlers in the form of Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav. Then at present Indian batsmen also play fast bowlers better than spin. In such a situation, India’s upper hand can be expected to remain heavy in Ahmedabad as well.
