You don't crib about Indian pitches, we don't mind Cape Town like tracks: Rohit

Listen to Story India captain Rohit Sharma said that he did not mind playing in pitches like Cape Town as long as the rest of the teams shut up about pitches in India. Speaking at the press conference after the conclusion of the second Test match, Rohit Sharma lashed out at the ICC for rating the ODI World Cup Final pitch below average.

Sharma argued that pitches cannot be rated as below average if a batter scored a century on the track pointing at the match winning knock from Travis Head in the summit clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. "I don't mind playing on pitches like this as long as everyone keeps their mouth shut in India and doesn’t complain about Indian pitches.

You come here to challenge yourself. And when people come to India it is challenging as well," Sharma said after the second Test match. "I still can’t believe that the World Cup final was rated below average. A batter got a hundred. How can that be a poor pitch?" he further added. Just 107 overs were bowled in one and a half days in Cape Town for the Test match to bear a result.
