Rohit Sharma shows his wittiness off the field

Hyderabad: The pink ball Test, played at the world’s biggest cricket stadium at Motera in Ahmedabad, was over inside two days, leaving many in splits.

There were continuous debates over the nature of the pitch that was on offer. It assisted the spinners from the first session and the debate continues to grow. While a few former cricketers took a dig at the pitch, others blamed lack of application from batsmen.

There were a series of questions being asked at the press conferences of Ravichandran Ashwin and Rohit Sharma. While skipper Virat Kohli said both teams failed with their batting style on the turning track, Rohit, who made a half-century in the first innings, said it was a strange pitch.

All eyes are now on the Motera pitch for the fourth Test. While a few wanted ICC to sanction BCCI for the pitch, it will be interesting to see what the pitch will be like. Meanwhile, opener Rohit took to social media site Instagram to post a cheeky picture ahead of the fourth Test. He posted a picture where he was lying on the ground and appears to be thinking deeply. He captioned the photo saying, “Wondering what the pitch would be like for the 4th test.”
