Gautam Gambhir slammed the pitch curator of the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi and stated that a better surface could have been made for the India vs West Indies second Test match.
Batting first, India piled up 518/5d and then bundled out West Indies for 248 runs before imposing a follow-on and again bowling out the opposition for 390. Then, India completed the run-chase of 121 with 7 wickets in hand to register a 2-0 clean sweep.
"I thought that we could have had a better wicket here. Yes, we did get the result on day five, but again, I think nicks need to carry. I think there has to be something for the fast bowlers as well. I know we keep talking about spinners playing an important role, but when you have got probably two quality fast bowlers in your ranks, we still want them to be in the game as well.”
I think the first and foremost thing to keep Test cricket alive is playing on good surfaces - Gautam Gambhir
"And it is okay if there is not enough [turn], but there has to be carry. So where we all saw [that] carry wasn't there, [it] was a bit alarming, and I think going forward, [I hope] we can get better wickets in Test cricket, because all of us have the responsibility of keeping Test cricket alive.
I have always believed that world cricket needs West Indian cricket - Gautam Gambhir
