On the first day of the Melbourne Test, Australia scored 311 runs for 6 wickets, 4 of its batsmen scored half-centuries. On the first day, the Australian batsmen performed well but they did something in the middle of the pitch which made Rohit Sharma angry. He repeatedly stopped and reprimanded the Kangaroo batsmen but the umpire stood absolutely silent and watched. Actually, on the first day of the match, Australia's openers Sam Constas and Marnus Labuschagne were seen constantly running in the middle of the pitch. Especially Labuschagne, who was seen constantly going to the good length area after playing the ball. After this, Rohit Sharma reprimanded him several times.

Were the Australian batsmen trying to damage the pitch?

The pitch was being damaged due to the Australian batsmen constantly coming in the middle of the pitch. Actually, the batsmen play wearing spikes shoes, which have nails in the front part. This can damage the pitch and in this match, Team India will be playing the fourth innings, so it can suffer a lot of damage, this is the reason why Rohit Sharma was constantly interrupting the Australian batsmen.

Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan also raised questions.

Irfan Pathan and Sunil Gavaskar raised the issue of Australian batsmen running in the middle of the pitch during commentary. Gavaskar alleged that if you have seen Sam Constus, he was running straight on the pitch and no one even stopped him. After this Irfan Pathan said that it is the job of the umpires to stop the batsman. Gavaskar said- the umpires are just watching. They are listening to Rohit Sharma and Labuschagne.

Spin will be seen in full swing in Melbourne.

The fast bowlers did not show their prowess in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. But the Melbourne pitch looks spin-friendly. On the very first day, Jadeja and Washington Sundar's bowling looked effective. This means that their role can be big on the fourth and fifth day of the game. At the same time, Australia's spinner Nathan Lyon can also make a big difference in this match. This is the reason why the Indian team is very upset with the Australian batsmen running in the middle of the pitch. But the question is why is the umpire not seeing all this?
