‘Just use a bowling machine’, Yuzvendra Chahal slams flat pitches
The second T20 match between India and West Indies played in Ranchi saw a rain of runs. In this match, Team India, batting first, scored a huge total of 249 runs in 20 overs. Looking at the big target of 250 runs, it seemed that India’s victory was certain, but West Indies captain Shai Hope turned the whole match around with his stormy batting. Hope played a brilliant century innings of 102 runs not out in 45 balls. Apart from him, Sherfane Rutherford scored 84 runs in 37 balls.
Now, this high-scoring match has reignited the debate about the increasing dominance of batsmen in T20 cricket. Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal expressed his displeasure with the difficulties faced by bowlers on flat pitches. He said that if such pitches are to be created, bowling machines should be deployed instead of bowlers.
