Indian batters are having the time of their lives in Indore as the small dimensions of the ground are helping them hit sixes and fours at will in the ongoing second ODI against Australia.
The boundaries behind the wicket are just 54 meters while ropes on either side have been placed at 60 meters. The bigger boundaries down the ground are less than 70 meters.
India therefore, chose to bat first after winning the toss and look set to post a total in excess of 400 at the Holkar Stadium.
Captain KL Rahul actually managed to send the ball out of the park as he hit a massive SIX off Cameron Green in the 35th over. The ball sailed over the roof as Rahul hooked a short delivery from Green for the maximum result.
India reached 242 for 2 in 34.3 overs after the six with Rahul batting on 17 and Shubman Gill on 104.
Cricket fans have also been talking about the small ground in Indore with most urging the ICC to have proper size boundaries in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 to make sure that the contest between batters and bowlers remains equal.
The Aussie bowlers have been taken to the cleaners so far by the Indian batters with Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill both hitting centuries.
Iyer brought up his third ODI hundred off 86 balls before getting out for 105. Moments later it was Gill who scored his sixth ODI hundred but he also couldn't convert it into a bigger score and got out for 104.
