Virat Kohli's old video of 5 designated Test centres resurfaced on social media as the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur witnessed lack of action due to a damp outfield, especially on Day 3.
Despite the venue not witnessing any rain on Sunday, not a single over could be possible because of the soft outfield. As frustrations grew among players and fans, Kohli's old video highlighting how India should only have 5 world-class venues for Test matches went viral.
Even former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik spoke about the topic after the end of Day 3. Maturity is realising that Virat Kohli was correct in 2019 when he wanted India to only have 5 World Class Test Centres.
pic.twitter.com/kv62cLWhrc Karthik, sharing his opinion on the topic, suggested that Test cricket has more fan following in smaller towns than Tier 1 cities. "What happens when you nominate five centres in a place like India in Tier 1 cities, it is a fact that there has been a dwindling amount of interest in the Test format.
