Team India Skipper Rohit Sharma On Playing Cricket World Cup 2023 Final On 'Used' Track
The captain of Indian cricket team Rohit Sharma had a clear answer about playing the finals of cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia on a 'used' pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The pitch that will be used for the summit clash was last used during the game between India and Pakistan, a match that the Rohit Sharma-led side won comprehensively. During the pre-match press conference, Rohit was asked about the surface, and he answered that although the pitch was 'a lot drier' against Pakistan, it now has a bit of grass. However, he was quick to point out that the toss will not play a major role in the match.
Rohit said at the pre-match press conference on Saturday that "there's a bit of grass on the track. The wicket from India vs. Pakistan was a lot drier. From my understanding, it's going to be on the slower side. We'll see the pitch tomorrow and assess. The temperature has dropped a bit as well. I don't know how much of a factor the dew will be. I don't think the toss will play a big role.”
