Jonny Bairstow gave this statement about the pitch
Jonny Bairstow said before the Test series against India that India can prepare different types of pitches. Even pitches that don’t have turn. We all have seen how strong his fast bowling has been recently. He said that I am sure that he will produce turning wickets. It cannot be said whether he will take turn from the first day or not, because this will reduce the strength of his fast bowling attack.
Bihar two teams arrived to play the match
Ranji Trophy has started. On the first day of the season, something happened that surprised everyone.

With this inning, he has staked his name for the Test series to be played against England at the end of this month.

The England team has done this before also when they toured Pakistan last year, however, despite this, many players of the team fell ill due to food poisoning.
