The Indian team will host Australia for the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore starting March 1. The hosts won the opening two matches with a dominant performance to take a big 2-0 lead in the four-match series and enter the Indore Test as favorites.
The Indore pitch has provided a balanced surface in the past red-ball matches and the pitch for the upcoming Test is looking neutral in the latest picture. There is small amount of grass in the middle with almost no visible cracks. Batters are likely to do well if the grass cover remains. Big scores are missing in this series, as spinners have thoroughly dominated.
Bowlers, especially spinners, pulled off impressive spells in Nagpur and Delhi Tests, which led the many highlighting the pitch conditions. Pitch conditions have always been significant talking points in Border-Gavaskar Trophy history and the ongoing series is no different. Many former cricketers have shared their thoughts on the spin-friendly pitches for the first two Tests and are expecting the same for the Indore Test.
