Fine with whatever surfaces we get: Surya plays down Ekana pitch controversy

 

Ahmedabad:  India’s T20 vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav on Tuesday played down the Ekana Stadium pitch controversy, saying the wicket doesn’t matter a lot and they are “fine” with any type of surfaces.

India skipper Hardik Pandya had termed the Ekana pitch a “shocker” after a tense 100-run chase, which was achieved in the penultimate delivery of the match. The curator was blamed for the fiasco and had been sacked.

“We (Hardik and I) had a chat later on, and it was like, whatever we got in future we will go with it. It’s completely fine,” Surya said on the eve of the series-decider at Motera.
