The legendary batter of India, also believes that spinners are going to create magic at The Oval ground, as it is a friendly pitch for the spinners, thus India might have an upper edge against Australia. Their tweakers could become doubly dangerous if they are able to get “that drift” and make the ball talk in the air.
“The Indian Team will be happy that they are playing at the Oval. The nature of the Oval pitch is such that it assist the spinners as the match goes on. So spinners will come into play a little bit,” Sachin said.
“It need not be always a turning track as sometimes the spinners rely a lot on the bounce, sometimes that little bit of zip that they get off the pitch, also on the overhead conditions and it depends a lot on the shiny side of the ball,” the legendary batter concluded.
