MA Chidambaram Pitch Report:
The Chennai pitch is bowling-friendly, and it supports spin bowlers more. Therefore, the three spinners of the Indian team can once again make a splash. Mohammed Shami is not expected to return to the team at present. In such a situation, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh can be seen as fast bowlers.
Although the Chidambaram Stadium pitch is considered spin-friendly, in T20 it is also conducive for batting. The team winning the toss would prefer to bat first here. Dew can make a big difference in the match.
