The GIF of a road tweeted by Punjab Kings
South Africa got off to a flying start in the 3rd T20I against India after being brought into play by Rohit Sharma. The field in the Holkar Stadium in Indore ensures that the ball can land nicely on the bat and players like Quinton de Kock and Rilee Rossouw have been hitting rapids for half a century.
While De Kock scored his fifty in 33 balls, before finally coming out for 68, Rossouw put in his half-century in 27 deliveries and looks set to take the Proteas to a huge total.
With the pitch not helping the bowlers, IPL franchise Punjab Kings took to Twitter to share the GIF of a road and the caption of the post read, “The Pitch in Indore.”

The field in Indore always helps with batting and has seen some big scores landed by teams.
This is the same venue where Rohit Sharma had achieved the collective fastest century in T20Is, when he reached the three-digit mark in just 35 balls against Sri Lanka.
From the signs we’ve seen so far, India would need their captaincy to play a similar knock if they are to complete a clean sweep over the Proteas.
