Veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh doesn't think the second Test between India and England will go beyond three and a half days. The pitch behaved viciously for the batsmen from Day 1 of the match.
The first Test in Chennai had lasted till the fifth day, but Harbhajan said this pitch is different and it has good help for the spinners. India batted first in the second Test and they scored 329 before getting all-out in the first session of Day 2.
Harbhajan's tweet came on the first day of the ongoing Test and he said the pitch is behaving like it's the eighth day of the match. "First session of the test match. Ball spinning like 8th day of the match #INDvsENG this test match will be over in 3 or 3 an half days I guess," he tweeted.
Earlier, former England captain Michael Vaughan had termed the pitch as a 'beach' in his tweet. He said scoring 300 on this wicket is equal to 600 in the first Test, which was comparatively very easy to bat.
India is currently 0-1 down in the 4-Test series after England won the first Test by 227 runs. To ensure they don't lose their chances for the World Test Championship final, India will have to avoid defeat in this match.
