IND vs SA / Then keep your mouth shut in India too… Know why captain Rohit Sharma said this?

IND vs SA: The story of Team India winning the Cape Town Test in 2 days is now old. In doing so he changed history at Newlands. Shared the trophy while avoiding series defeat. But, while on one hand there was joy of victory in the shortest match in Test history, on the other hand Indian captain Rohit Sharma's attitude was also a bit harsh. This bitterness in Rohit's attitude was regarding the pitch. Especially the behavior that ICC shows regarding pitch rating. Rohit has urged the apex body of cricket to adopt a uniform attitude in this matter.

Now the question is, where did the idea of keeping one's mouth shut even in India come from? So the Indian captain has also mentioned this very well after winning the match at Newlands. But, before that, let us understand the nature of the pitch at Newlands according to him. According to Rohit, there was sharp bounce in the pitch. A bouncer himself had hit him on his right arm, after which he also got swelling. Rohit said that he is not against this kind of bounce in foreign countries. He is in favor of it. But, only if people do not mind seeing the pitch turn in the first hour of the first day.

Then keep your mouth shut even when you come to India- Rohit

It is clear that Rohit's target here was towards ICC. The Indian captain said in the press conference in Cape Town that we all saw what happened in this Test match, how the pitch behaved. To be honest, I have no objection to playing on such pitches. But then even after coming to India, you will have to keep your mouth shut.

It is clear that by saying this, Rohit wants to tell that every country has its own perspective and character regarding the pitch. If we are ready to deal with challenges in other countries, then they will also have to be ready when they come to India.

‘It is important to remain consistent regarding the assessment of pitches’

Rohit said that in India, on the very first day when the ball starts turning on the pitch, people start calling it a ball of dust. Whereas in Cape Town also there were cracks in the pitch. But, no one said anything on this. ICC needs to adopt a uniform approach regarding the pitch. The match referee should be neutral in assessing the pitches.
