IND Vs ENG: Questions are being raised about the pitches after Team India batsmen’s failure in the Test series against England. Sourav Ganguly, former president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, has criticized the type of pitches made in the home series. Sourav Ganguly says if India has bowlers like Bumrah, Shami and Siraj, then why is there a need for slow delivery? Sourav Ganguly has blamed slow deliveries for the failure of Team India’s batsmen.
Sourav Ganguly has also called for better pitches to be built for Test matches in India. Sourav Ganguly said, “When I see Bumrah, Shami, Siraj and Mukesh Kumar bowling, I wonder why only turning tracks are built in India.” Every game should be played on a better pitch and I want that to happen. India has such fast bowlers who can take 20 wickets. Our fast bowlers along with Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar Patel have the ability to beat any team. The reason for India’s poor batting performance in the last six to seven years is poor pitches. The game should take place on very good wickets. India can easily register victory in 5 days.”
