IND vs ENG 4th Test: Virat Kohli Slams Pitch Critics, Asks "Do You Play To Win Or Take Game To 5 Days?" | Cricket News
The pitch in the third Test between India and England in Ahmedabad became a major talking point after the Day-Night match ended inside two days, and it was also the major focus in India captain Virat Kohli’s press conference ahead of the fourth and final game of the series, which will also be held at the same venue. Kohli hit out at the criticism of spinning pitches, saying there is “too much noise about spinning tracks”. He was also asked what must be done to ensure that Test matches don’t end in two-three days, and came up with a stern response.
“Do you play the game to win it or to make sure it goes to five days and there is entertainment?” he quipped.
Kohli maintained that the skill of the batsmen should be looked at more than conditions, and said that his team never cribbed while playing in seaming tracks abroad.
“I believe there is too much noise about spinning tracks,” Kohli said.
