Ravindra Jadeja close to 300 Test wickets. With one more wicket in Kanpur, he will complete 300 wickets in Tests.
If we talk about the pitch of the India Bangladesh Test starting from 27th September in Kanpur, it can create new problems for both the teams.
Instead of the red soil of Chennai, there will be black soil here, there will not be much bounce and the ball will also not carry much.
The red soil pitch absorbs less water than other pitches and hence starts drying up quickly. This is the reason why big cracks appear in the pitch after three to four sessions of the match. On this pitch, fast bowlers get a lot of bounce in the beginning of the match. Due to the uniform bounce, batsmen also find it easy to play after getting set. But as the soil starts cracking, the spin bowlers get the upper hand and the game can become challenging for the batsmen.
Although black soil pitch has a higher clay content, it absorbs water better. Due to which the pitch can remain without cracks for a longer time. However, this creates uneven bounce and batsmen have to take time to settle down. Especially when such pitches break, batsmen face a lot of problems.
