Mumbai: Preparing turners at home was "the right thing to do” in the Rohit Sharma-era but it remains to be seen if the current team management including Test captain captain Shubman Gill would retain the tried and tested formula of playing on spin-friendly surfaces. Heralding the transition era of the Indian Test team which began with a spectacular run in England over five Tests, the think tank will be pushed hard to come up with the right answer regarding the nature of pitches at home.
The opening Test will begin on Thursday at the world’s largest stadium and two days out of the match, the pitch sported green grass without much work being done on it through
the course of the day.
