Dinesh Karthik gives befitting reply to Australian media after bringing Ravichandran Ashwin in the middle

after the third test between India And as Australia were taken to Indore, Dinesh Karthik came up with an epic response after resorting to his usual pranks for the Australian media.

The BCCI on Monday confirmed that the third Test was shifted from Dharamsala to Indore as construction work was going on at the previous venue and the entire outfield and pitch were redone in view of the inclement weather conditions at Dharamsala.

The Indian board did not want to risk an international match being played on an untested surface, so the third Test will now be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.

fox Cricket It reported the news claiming that it came as another ‘setback’ for Pat Cummins’ team as the venue in Dharamsala was best suited for fast bowling.

He once again shared the news on Twitter by bringing in Ravichandran Ashwin. “The 3rd India Test has been shifted to a new venue… where Ravichandran Ashwin averages 12.50 with the ball,” read Fox Cricket’s tweet.

The veteran Indian wicketkeeper-batsman, who is part of the commentary panel for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023, claimed that the admin who tweeted the news of the third Test being shifted to Indore was ‘worrying’.

Karthik also said that the mind game will affect the Aussies much more than Rohit Sharma and Co.

“The admin here is clearly a concern, seems to be playing more mind games with the Aussies than the other way around,” Karthik wrote on Twitter.

Earlier, the Australian media accused India of ‘tampering’ the pitch at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.

Cummins’ team will struggle to contain the spin of Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja as they hunted in pairs to help India beat Australia by an innings and 132 runs in the first Test.

As luck would have it, the Australian side had planned to practice on the Nagpur pitch after the conclusion of the first Test, however, their training session had to be canceled as the ground staff watered the pitch.

The focus now shifts to the second Test between India and Australia which will be held in Delhi from February 17 to 21.
