India’s T20 vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav on Tuesday played down the Ekana Stadium pitch controversy, saying the wicket doesn’t matter a lot and they are “fine” with any type of surfaces.
India skipper Hardik Pandya had termed the Ekana pitch a “shocker” after a tense 100-run chase against New Zealand, which was achieved in the penultimate delivery of the second T20I. The curator was blamed for the fiasco and had been sacked.
