India vs Australia: Pacers will have an advantage on Dharamsala pitch, says curator
According to chief-curator Sunil Chauhan, who is in-charge of the pitch at the HPCA Stadium, the 22 yard-strip will offer genuine assistance to the faster bowlers. “That is how the nature of the pitch has been here. I have left it grassy and thereby the pacers will have an advantage. It will be fast and so they will play an important role in the match.”
As far as the spinners are concerned, the curator maintained that they will get little help. “Unko halki madad milegi (they will get little help).” he said and then pointed out that the bounce will be available for them which will bring the close-in fielders into play.
As far as the batsman are concerned Chauhan said they will face a stern test in the first session of play, throughout the morning-period.

Mohammed Shami unfit for India vs Australia 4th Test
Skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday skipped batting at India's net session ahead of the fourth cricket Test against Australia. It was also learnt that pacer Mohammed Shami will not be picked for the match as he is still being monitored by physio Patrick Farhart. Kohli is nursing an injury on his right shoulder sustained while trying to save a boundary in Australia's first innings at Ranchi. While there were speculations that he would be forced to take a break, Kohli defied odds as he came out to bat even though he didn't score too many runs in the third Test. Today Kohli was present at the ground with his teammates. With a bandaged right shoulder, Kohli took part in the customary warm-up.
Meanwhile, it was learnt that Shami doesn't have a chance to be picked for the game. "Shami was with the team in Ranchi also as Farhart is monitoring his progress. He was not named in the squad of 15 for the final Test. Sending him to play Vijay Hazare final was a part of that extensive rehabilitation plan," a well-informed source told PTI today.
