Lol. Virat's Pikachu face had me in splits. I actually checked his pikachu expressions in google and laughed a lot.
For some reason, he really thinks that he can't get out hence Pikachu face every time lol
I guess it serves them well after botching the venue of Dharamshala and airdropping Indore into the mix out of nowhere. It showed how casual they were with their preparation despite knowing that the BGT series is a very prestige and money making affair.
Virtually no issue with the demerits points but again our batters played poorly as well, which inflated the idea of a bad pitch.
I think in a 4 match series you should atleast make sure you make a couple of pitches good for batting and couple of pitches good for bowling. Making all 4 pitches in the same pattern as favouring spinners looks itself a bizzare idea to me. I know batters played poorly to some extent but if you see ball was coming too low at often times and overturning as well at a few scenarios any good batsmen can fail to play such things.
TBH not in favor of batting pitches where batters are stat padding all day long. For this, we have white ball cricket and red ball conditions should favor the bowlers and batters need to grind.
May be 60-40 chances to Ball and Bat.
