IND vs AUS: Twitter reacts after India registered a massive win over Australia
IND vs AUS: Earlier, the Australian media and some former Australian cricketers accused India of “pitch-doctoring” in their favour to provide more assistance to their spinners. But India also batted, and they scored runs on the same pitch on which the Australian batters struggled. That’s why some fans troll the visitors after suffering a huge loss in Nagpur. Both teams will play the next game in New Delhi starting on February 17.
