Opinions are divided after the third day-night Test at the newly-inaugurated Narendra Modi Stadium at Motera between India and England ended in two days.
While the players have defended the pitch, some former cricketers, both from India and England, felt it was a bad advertisement for the longest format. However, former India coach Anshuman Gaekwad, who is currently a member of the BCCI’s Apex Council, said that it’s the players who are to blame and not the pitch.
