Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar was critical of the ICC for giving a harsh verdict on the Indore pitch.
“One thing I would like to know, there was this Test match in November in Brisbane where the match finished in 2 days. How many demerit points did that pitch get and who was the match referee there?” Gavaskar questioned after the surface at the Holkar stadium received a 'poor' rating.
“I think 3 demerit points is a little harsh, because, in this pitch, yes the ball turned, but it was not dangerous. When Australia gets to a score of 78 for the loss of one wicket it actually tells you that the pitch got a lot better,” the former Indian opener added.
