New Delhi: In Ahmedabad, India defeated England (India vs England) by 10 wickets in the third Test. India had a target of just 49 runs to win, which Virat & Co. had no problem in achieving. This match was won by Team India on the spin of Akshar Patel and R Ashwin, but at the same time questions were raised on the pitch of this match. The match ended in just two days, so such questions are bound to arise, especially former England cricketer Michael Vaughan, Kevin Pietersen appeared annoyed. However, captain Virat Kohli believes that there was no problem in the Ahmedabad pitch but the batsmen performed poorly.

Virat Kohli said after the match, ‘To be honest, I think both teams have done bad bating. He collapsed quickly and the batsmen of both the teams did not play well. On Wednesday, the ball was coming on the bat easily and a single ball was turning. I think batting is mediocre. 21 out of 30 wickets fell on a straight ball, it is really surprising.

Played such a test match for the first time – Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli said that for the first time he has played such a test match in which the match ended in just 2 days. He said, ‘It was a strange match, I have never played such a test match where the situation changed so quickly. I think the focus of the batsmen was not the right place. He was playing for the turn but the wickets were falling on the straight ball. Jasprit Bumrah was telling me why I am being given rest at the time of the match, while Ishant was also saying that I am not getting bowling in my 100th Test match.
