2nd Test: Surprising That India Went Back To Bowl, Wicket Still Very Good To Bat, Says Pierre
Arun Jaitley Stadium: West Indies left-arm spinner Khary Pierre admitted he was surprised by India’s decision to enforce the follow-on on day three of the second and final Test, but said his team embraced the challenge to bat in a counterattacking manner on a wicket which he felt is still very good to bat, despite the occasional turn.
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, West Indies were bowled for 248 in the first innings and conceded a huge lead of 270 runs. With India enforcing the follow-on, West Indies showed the fire to fight in their second innings with opener John Campbell, batting on a career best score of 87 not out and sharing a vital 138-run stand with Shai Hope, who is unbeaten on 66.
“Actually, it was a bit surprising that they went back to bowl, although I know the wicket was still a good one. For me personally, batting on the wicket for a lot of time, watching the wicket, and seeing what it's doing, I think the wicket is still a very good wicket, as I said before.”
