India aur Australia tayyar ho rahe hain ek itihasik World Cup final ke liye, jisme yeh dono cricket bade khiladi pehli baar iss mahatvapurna match mein takra rahe hain. Pitch pe dhyan jyada hai, khas kar India ki semi-final ke pehle ki shor machane wali baaton ko dekhte hue.
Pitch Controversy Before Semi-Final
Semi-final se pehle, khabrein aayi ki local association ke curators ne pitch ko kuchh ghante pehle hi crucial match se badal diya. Unhone ek purane pitch ko chuna, taki Indian spinners ko madad mile. ICC ne pitch badalne ko maan liya, lekin saaf taur par kaha ki iske liye unhone ICC pitch consultant se zaruri manzoori li thi. World Cup jaise lambi tournament mein aise badlav kuch naya nahi hai. Khaas baat ye hai ki tournament ke rules mein ICC knockout matches ke liye fresh pitch ki zarurat nahi hai.
Venue Shift to Ahmedabad
Ab final ki taraf badhte hain, jahan venue Mumbai ke Wankhede Stadium se Ahmedabad ke Narendra Modi Stadium mein gaya. Badalav ho gaya hai, lekin situation behad khatarnak hai. Dono venues mein mitti ka ek samaan factor hai – ya to laal ya kaala. Aur iske alawa, semi-final ki tarah, ek aur ‘pitch change’ hone ki bhi sambhavna hai.
Curators’ Strategy in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad ke curators ne India-Australia ke beech hone wale showdown ke liye do strips taiyar ki hain, jo ki adbhut taur par center se hatai gayi hain. Final ke liye nischit surface right side mein hai, lekin curators doosre surface par bhi kaam kar rahe hain, jo left side mein hai. Covers hatane ke baad dono surfaces par rolling shuru ho gaya hai.
Cricket Suspense with Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid
Cricket ka suspense badh gaya hai jab India ke captain, Rohit Sharma, aur head coach, Rahul Dravid, pitch ko inspect kar rahe hain. Rohit apne ghutne par baith kar surface ko apne thumb se dabata hai, shayad iski mazbooti ko check kar rahe hain. Dravid bhi apne tareeqe se pitch inspect kar rahe hain. Unhone World Cup ke dauran venues pehle se dekh liye hain, taaki 22-yard strip ke offerings ka andaaza lagaya ja sake.
Is tarah se, World Cup final mein pitch change aur cricket suspense ka maza lete hain, jab India aur Australia ek doosre se takra rahe hain. Aage dekhte hain kis team ki kismat chamakti hai!
