Interesting pitch report from Ajit Agarkar as all is set for the toss now

Pitch report by Ajit Agarkar:

“The groundsmen have done an outstanding job, it has been raining for couple of days. They are still working on the outfield to get the game started on time but the pitch looks terrific. Lovely covering of grass, which means the ball should come on to the bat nicely. There might be some swing on offer because of the weather conditions. But this looks like a good pitch.”

India were given a huge blow with Ruturaj Gaikwad being sidelined for the series
