Preparing Rank Turners ‘Act Of Desperation’ From India? Ex-Spinner Answers

Even earlier than the Border-Gavaskar Trophy began, the ‘pitch speak’ gained many of the consideration, with many former gamers and media shops in Australia accusing the Indian group of ‘doctoring’ the pitches. Some even really feel that the preparation of ‘rank turners’ within the first three Tests was an act of desperation from India, of their bid to achieve the World Test Championship last. When former India spinner Pragyan Ojha was requested about the identical, he ridiculed the speak and referred to skipper Rohit Sharma’s remark, suggesting India are solely attempting to carve out a ‘consequence’.

“What is the definition of Test cricket? It is a test of your skill, and your mental and physical strength. The beauty of home and away series is that when you go to somebody’s home, you face a different challenge which you have not faced. When we go to SENA countries the challenges are different, similarly for those teams when they come to India. In SENA countries, the wickets are slightly greener, there is some lateral movement. In Australia there is a little bit of bounce. In the subcontinent, the track helps the spinners. So calling India desperate in that aspect, I wouldn’t agree to it because everyone has the option of playing to their strength,” Ojha informed Hindustan Times.

The former spinner feels that India have solely tried to make the sport ‘extra thrilling’ by making ready the sort of pitches they did.

“It’s just a strategy and it helps in making the game more exciting. I really like the way Rohit Sharma said, when you play a full five-day Test match, there is a lot of people have said that the wickets were not good in other countries and it was not giving any result, so when you get result and see some excitement in the game, that is what you are here for,” he asserted.

It additionally must be famous that the third Test pitch (Indore), was rated “poor” by the ICC. In comparability, the pitches for the primary two Tests have been rated “average”.
