The Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is yet to start and it seems that the battle has already started off the field. The Australian media has raised a question on the surface of the Vidarbha Cricket Association in Nagpur. One of the renowned and major media houses in Australia Fox Cricket has quoted the Australian reporters in Australia and tweeted the photograph of the Nagpur wicket on which the ground men are working on the wicket.

“What's going on here? 🤔🤔Pictures expose bizarre Indian ploy as Aussie concerns grow over first Test pitch,” tweeted Fox Sports from their official Twitter handle.

Here’s a look at Fox Cricket’s tweet on Nagpur Wicket:

“Only the center of the Nagpur wicket was watered and rolled while the area where bowlers will target left-handers was left bone dry,” Australian reporters quoted by Fox Cricket.

“This was the same at either end of the wicket in what appeared to be a deliberate ploy to make life difficult for left-handers, who for Australia include David Warner, Usman Khawaja, and Travis Head,” reporters added further.

Meanwhile, the famed Indian sports journalist also tweeted the same pictures of Nagpur's surface with a caption; “Interesting treatment of the pitch in Nagpur. The groundstaff watered the entire center of the surface & only the length areas outside the left-hander’s leg stump & then rolled only the center, stopping short every time they got to the good length areas at both ends.”

Although just within a few minutes of Fox Cricket’s tweet, the Indian cricket fans took no time in taking to Twitter to lash out at the Australian Media for creating an unnecessary rant ahead of the series.
