Team India is finalizing its preparations for the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Team India reached Melbourne soon after the Gaba Test draw. Rohit Sharma's army has sweated profusely on the ground of Melbourne. Meanwhile, the Indian captain has given important information about the Melbourne pitch. He has revealed what the Melbourne pitch will be like. After examining the Melbourne pitch, Rohit told that when he had seen the pitch a day earlier, there was a lot of grass on it.

'We only have one day…'

Rohit Sharma said, 'I saw the pitch a day ago, there was a lot of grass in the MCG. We will see how it looks now and know about the weather. We will decide what we have to do. Till now we had training and practice on the pitches used at MCG. Today is the only day when we are going to get new pitches for practice.

Team India practiced on used pitches

Let us tell you that till now the Indian team has been practicing on the pitches used in Melbourne. The pitches on which the team practiced were used for practice in the Big Bash League. The Indian team had received four pitches and the visiting team was not happy with their quality. There was neither much speed nor bounce on these pitches. There are generally no such pitches in Australia. These pitches were completely opposite to the pitches used in the Melbourne Test. However, now India will be provided a new pitch for practice. But that too only for one day. Before the Boxing Day Test, Team India will get the only opportunity to practice on the new pitch. In such a situation, Team India's practice should not remain incomplete and it should not have to suffer the consequences in the match.

MCG pitch curator told what the nature of the pitch will be like

On the other hand, before Rohit, the pitch curator of MCG had given important information about the pitch. He had told that there will be grass up to 6 mm thick on the pitch. It is clear that the pitch will not help the spinners but here also the power of fast bowlers will be seen. The pitch curator said, 'Seven years ago the pitch was quite flat. We decided that we wanted to create a more exciting Test match. So now we leave more grass on the pitches. This gives the bowlers a chance to play more, but after the new ball becomes soft, the batting will also be good. We have been making pitches of six millimeters (grass size) for the last few years.
