IndvsNZ: Hardik Pandya raised question on Lucknow pitch, now action taken against pitch curator

The three-match T20 series between India and New Zealand is level at 1-1. After a lot of difficulties and hardships, the Indian team won the second T20 match. In this match played at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium, both the teams had to face a lot of trouble in scoring runs, due to which both the teams were unhappy. This was also mentioned by Captain Hardik Pandya himself.

 

Please tell that in this match played in Lucknow on January 29, both the teams could score only 100-100 runs. The pitch at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium was such that not even a single six could be hit during the entire match. Here the batsmen could hit the boundary with a lot of difficulty. After this match, Indian team captain Hardik Pandya also raised questions about the pitch. He had said that this wicket was shocking. Difficult wickets don’t bother me. I am ready for it but both these wickets were not for T20.

 

After fierce criticism in the match, now action has also been taken against the curator of Ekana Stadium. Taking strict action, the management of Ekana Stadium has removed the pitch curator. There are very few pitches in India where players have to struggle to score runs. The pitch of Ekana Stadium is also one of the few such rare pitches. In this pitch, the batsmen were seen struggling even to get one run each.
