In his pitch report, Abhinav Mukund says that the surface has been a fabulous one in the IPL. The pitch for the second T20I also seems really hard, he adds and reckons that it might be a nightmare for bowlers. It looks like one of those surfaces where even 200 might not be enough, Mukund concludes.
