India vs England: Chennai pitch full of green grass, Team India has not lost to England for 35 years here

India and England are set in the four-Test series. The first two matches of the series will be played at Chepak ground in Chennai. The first match will begin on 5 February. Talking about the pitch before the match, five pitches have been prepared with a fair amount of grass on the field of Chepak.

The Indian team management will choose one of these pitches. Let me tell you that the match has not been held since the lockdown in the stadium in March last year and in this case, everyone’s eyes are on how the pitch will behave. The last Test match on the Chennai pitch was played between India and England.

In this match played in the year 2016, Karun Nair hit a triple century (303 not out) and KL Rahul hit 199 innings. India scored 759 in the match and won by 75 runs. The Chepak ground pitch may once again suit the batsmen. Although the nature of the wicket will be slow. The only difference is that the Chennai wicket has more grass than before.

There was no match here due to Covid-19 and there is fresh grass on the wicket. Having grass on the pitch does not mean that the ball will be the seam. The pitch can also be slow because there has not been a cricket match here for a long time. India and England have strong batting at the lower order and in such a situation it is natural to rain matches.
