Bombarded By Questions On New York Pitch, India Coach Vikram Rathour Makes Stance Clear
For the second time in as many games, a low-scoring match was played in the 2024 T20 World Cup at New York. After Sri Lanka were bowled out for 77 by South Africa, India's bowlers were fearsome and relentless in bundling out Ireland for 96. The nature of the pitch in New York once again became a huge talking point – there was excessive movement and variable bounce kept the batters guessing, though some like India captain Rohit Sharma took blows in a rather comfortable eight-wicket win for the side.
