IND vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 3 Live: Pitch Report

“This pitch has produced a lot of wickets simply because of the rough nature of the pitch in the top layer. There's a lot of dryness, so there were a lot of turns, one or the other went straight, but it was a consistent turn.” And that's the Mumbai pitch, where there's a consistent turn and a lot of bounce. If you were a bowler you would agree that you could bowl from either end and I feel there is enough going on at both ends. I would say the commentary side has produced a lot more wickets for the spinners but that means Not that there isn't a lot going on on the pavilion side because it's a little rougher there in front of the batsman.
