🏏Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #12: India vs Pakistan🏏Thread #1 - Page 10

1.15pm Pitch report: A 72m straight boundary while the pockets towards the cover region is around 76m, 60m square boundaries. Little bit of moisture, but this will vanish. No grass. "When Pakistan will arrive, they will like it," reckons Waqar Younis. "There is no grass on it. It is going to get harder." Irfan Pathan says: "It think the pitch is going to get harder and Shardul should play this game. With the kind of of humid conditions, ball tends to swing in the air. Having a fast bowler will add to the advantage".

C'mon India... dikhado..

Duniya ko hila do..

All the very best.👍

Gill is now doing a slip-fielding drill. Possibly the biggest indication that he is playing. He doesn't look full throttle to me still (as he and Iyer let a catch go between them) but it's perhaps for the best to conserve and then let adrenaline take over for later?

On that note, Shashank chimes in: If pre-match training is anything to go by, you definitely ain't going to know which way the Indian team are going with their XI. Shardul Thakur is sprinting like an Olympian. R Ashwin is doing some light bowling on the side pitch.

Now more fielding drills for Gill as Kohli joins Iyer for slip catches
