A two-day Test is certain to generate lots of query marks. The identical is occurring with the India vs South Africa second Test that led to lower than 5 periods on Thursday. As many as 23 wickets tumbled on day one with the hosts being bowled out for 55 and the guests for 153 earlier than India misplaced three extra wickets of their second innings. In the second session of the second day, India accomplished the duty in 12 overs. Only 107 overs have been bowled – making it the shortest Test match ever.

While in a roundabout way criticising the pitch, Indian cricket crew captain Rohit Sharma had so much to say on the folks criticising the Indian pitches, who complain in regards to the spin tracks.

“We all saw what happened in this Test match and how the pitch played. I honestly don’t mind playing on pitches like these. As long as everyone keeps their mouth shut and don’t talk too much about Indian pitches,” Rohit Sharma mentioned.

“Because you come here to challenge yourself. Yes, it is dangerous. It is challenging. So, and when people come to India, it is again pretty challenging as well. Look, when you are here to play Test cricket, we talk about Test cricket, the ultimate prize, Test cricket being the pinnacle and stuff like that. I think it’s important that we also stand by it.”

Rohit additionally spoke in opposition to individuals who typically condemn Indian picthes as mud bowls.

“When you are put up against, a challenge like that, you come and face it. That’s what happens in India, but, in India on day one, if the pitch starts turning, people start talking about ‘Puff of dust! Puff of dust!’ There’s so much crack here on the pitch. People are not looking at that,” Rohit mentioned.

“I think it’s important that we stay neutral everywhere we go. Especially the match referees. You know, some of these match referees need to keep their eye on how they rate pitches. It’s quite important. I still can’t believe that the World Cup final pitch was rated below average. A batsman got a hundred there in the final. How can that be a poor pitch? So these are the things the ICC, the match referees, they need to look into and start rating pitches based on what they see, not based on the countries. I think that’s quite important.

“So I hope they maintain their ears open, they maintain their eyes open and look into these facets of the sport. Honestly, I’m all for pitches like this. We wish to problem taking part in on pitches like this. We satisfaction ourselves taking part in on pitches like this. Uh, however all I wanna say is be impartial.”
