IND Vs AUS: Impact Of Rain On Pitch Conditions On Day 4
The wet conditions and humidity are likely to leave the pitch damp and slow early in the day. Fast bowlers will find assistance through swing and seam movement, especially with overcast skies. The wet outfield will not only make stroke play difficult but also affect the ball’s behavior, reducing boundary-scoring opportunities and increasing the risk of dismissals.
For India, already struggling at 51/4, the first session will be crucial. Batting will be challenging in the morning due to the conditions, and patience will be key to weather the initial storm. KL Rahul, unbeaten on 33,* and skipper Rohit Sharma, who is yet to get off the mark, hold the key for India’s recovery.
