New Delhi: Team India's clean sweep defeat has created an uproar in Indian cricket. Veteran players are criticizing the board for the Indian pitches. Former Team India spinner Harbhajan Singh has clearly said that in the series against New Zealand, such a pitch was used where anyone can get anyone out. There is no need to call veterans Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan, and Saqlain Mushtaq here. In the 3-match test series, New Zealand's spin bowlers easily trapped the Indian batsmen in their spin. For the first time, the Indian team lost a 3-match test series at home by 0-3.

Harbhajan Singh wrote on social media, 'Turning pitches are becoming your own enemy. Congratulations New Zealand, you defeated us. I have been saying for many years that the Indian team needs to play on better pitches. These turning pitches make every batsman very ordinary.' This defeat of the Indian team has also affected the WTC points table. Team India has slipped from first to second place in the WTC points table.

Virat-Rohit did not consider it appropriate to play in the Duleep Trophy.
In the entire series against New Zealand, stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli kept craving for runs. These stalwarts were playing at home as if they did not know how to play against spin. When the star players were asked to play domestic matches in their free time, many of them planned to travel abroad. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma did not consider it appropriate to play in the Duleep Trophy for the preparation of this test series.

'These pitches are prepared for 2-3 day test matches'
Harbhajan said, 'Batsmen of previous generations never played on such pitches. These pitches are prepared for 2-3 day test matches. You don't need Murali, Warne, or Saqlain on these pitches to get teams out. Anyone can get anyone out.' The Indian team's next tour is to Australia where it has to play a 5 match test series. The first test match of the series will be played in Perth on November 22.
