Even on Thursday, the ground staff was busy preparing the ground the whole day.

The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia will be played on September 24 at Holkar Stadium. The pitch is the most talked about topic because the last time a Test match was played between India and Australia, the Holkar pitch got 1 D-merit point. Barring the last Test match, the pitch of the stadium always gets a rating of Very Good.

Chief Pitch Curator Manohar Jamle and his team are continuously working hard on the field. Jamle told that this time the match will be held on black soil pitch. Sporting wicket has been prepared, which will benefit both the bowler and the batsman. Our endeavor is always to ensure that the spectators who spend money and come to watch the match get a chance to enjoy the match. I have worked with former chief coach Samander Singh Chauhan as assistant curator in previous international matches. That experience will be very useful.

Expectation of big score, weather factor

Good scores have been seen in all the matches held at Holkar Stadium. In view of the upcoming ODI World Cup, this series will prove to be important for all the players. A big score is also expected in the match between India and Australia. Still, a lot depends on the day and climate of the players. Every day is not the same for any player. Still, our effort is to make a big score and the spectators can enjoy the match.

For the first time, MPCA has called the pitch curator of the division to prepare the ground and pitch. The organization believes that all ground staff should have experience of how grounds and wickets are prepared for international matches. The ground staff of 21 people has been busy preparing the ground for the last 15 days.

There will be a team of 100 boys to cover the field if needed.

According to the pitch curator, we have adequate resources and staff. If there is moderate rain, the field will be made playable within an hour. We have 4 machines and blowers to dry the field. There are enough covers to completely cover the field. A team of 100 boys has been formed to cover the field. The 12 inches of rain last week did not cause any damage to the field. However, due to the ground being covered and moisture inside the field, the color of the grass has definitely been affected. If there is enough sunshine for the next two days, the spectators will be able to see grass like the fields abroad.
