India skipper Rohit Sharma silenced discussions about India’s pitch with a blistering reply within moments of the hosts’ nine-wicket loss in the third Test. Amid mounting criticism, India captain Rohit was asked to assess the pitch at Indore after the three-day conclusion of a Test match and replied with a scathing note that none of those former cricketers would ever play on such pitches.

Rohit said –

“Former cricketers did not play on pitches like this. So I don’t know. Like I said, this is the kind of pitch we want to play in and this is our strength. When you play at home, you want to play to your strength and not worry about what people outside are talking about. And had we not gotten results, we would have thought otherwise.”

Rohit also expressed displeasure over the constant discussion about pitches after every match and said he would be interested in talking about Nathan Lyon, who took 13 wickets to claim the player of the match award, or Cheteshwar Pujara. And talked about the performance of batsmen like Usman. Khwaja in Indore test

Rohit further said –

“This pitch talk is getting too much. Every time we play in India, the focus is only on pitch. Why are people not asking me about Nathan Lyon and how well he bowled? Or, how well Pujara batted in the second innings? Or, how well Usman Khawaja played? Those are the things I can give you a details on, but not on pitch because it is absolutely not necessary.”
