WTC Final: Pitch was under prepared going into day one, says Shardul Thakur

NEW DELHI: India all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who scored a brilliant 51 in the first innings, has called The Oval pitch under prepared, saying it is very different from the surface they played on back in 2021. India had won the Oval Test by 157 runs in September 2021 with Shardul getting a fifty in each innings.

Shardul and Ajinkya Rahane shared a valuable 109-run stand to take India to 296 in reply to Australia's first-innings total of 469 on the third day of the World Test Championship final.
