India Great's 'Technique' Jibe At England Batters As Kevin Pietersen Slams Hyderabad Pitch
The pitch of Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, where the India vs England first Test is being played, has been a major talking point from Day 1 of the game. Many experts have showed dissatisfaction for the fact that the surface assisted spinners from the opening day itself. During commentary on the first day, former England skipper Kevin Pietersen criticized the nature of the pitch and said that it should not be providing the amount of turn to spinners what it offered. Sunil Gavaskar, who was also there in the commentary box with him, differed in opinion and rather pointed out at the flaw in the 'technique' of the England batters.
