"Even Curator Is Confused...": Rohit Sharma's Blunt Verdict On India vs Pakistan Pitch

Still baffled by the Nassau County ground's unpredictable pitch, India captain Rohit Sharma on Saturday said he has no idea what to expect from it in the T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan as even the curator is "confused" about the drop-in wickets being used. The matches in New York have seen low scores, including in India's first match against Ireland when the latter was bowled out for a sub-100 total. The ICC had to issue a statement acknowledging the inconsistent nature of the tracks. "New York is not our home ground. We have played two matches here but we don't have much awareness about its nature. It behaves differently on different days, so even the curator is confused," Rohit said on the eve of the game against Pakistan.
