Team India suffered a massive defeat to New Zealand in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in the first Test match. The Indian team, looking to avoid a series loss against the Kiwis, is reportedly preparing a turning track in Pune to gain an advantage. An ESPNcricinfo report has indicated that the pitch at MCA Stadium, primarily composed of black soil, is expected to produce lower bounce compared to the surface in Bengaluru, favoring spin bowling. The conditions for the second game are likely to be slower and flatter. Following their disappointing first-match defeat in the Bengaluru Test, the Indian cricket team is now facing significant pressure to equalize the three-match Test series against New Zealand. The strategy behind creating a slower, turning pitch is to leverage India’s strong spin attack with hopes of leveling the home series and maintaining their chances for the World Test Championship final.

Furthermore, India is expected to field three spinners in Pune, similar to the first Test, although the combination may be adjusted based on the amount of spin the slow pitch provides. Washington Sundar has already been added to the squad, potentially impacting their selection. The Rohit-Gambhir duo must have reflected on their batting lineups and the wrong decisions made in the first Test. They are likely strategizing to avoid repeating those mistakes and are determined to make a strong comeback in the series.
