'There Has To Be Something For Pacers', Gambhir Shares His Analysis Of Delhi Pitch
Arun Jaitley Stadium: India head coach Gautam Gambhir has said that there could have been a better pitch on offer at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the venue for their seven-wicket win over the West Indies to complete a 2-0 series sweep.
Gambhir also urged for pitches to be made which offer assistance to fast bowlers and carry through to the keeper, especially with India boasting a quality pace attack in Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, alongside Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep being next in line.
The current Indian team management signalled a shift toward more balanced surfaces, a move further prompted by last year’s 3-0 whitewash at the hands of New Zealand on rank turners. The revised strategy in terms of pitches paid immediate dividends in Ahmedabad, where India wrapped up the first Test inside three days with a win coming by an innings and 140 runs. But the game in New Delhi proved to be demanding.
