It seems like this entire World Cup has been pre-planned. It feels more like an Indian Multi-Nation Series. The pitches, venues, and oppositions all seem to be predetermined. When India faces strong spinning teams, they play on flat pitches, and when facing good batting sides, they’re on venues where the ball spins.
Chennai’s pitch and Afghanistan’s spinners
For our match against Afghanistan, they placed us in Chennai, where the ball spins excessively, the same place where India had Australia all out for 200. It feels like there’s a script in play. The only thing India didn’t account for in their script is that they might face a setback, at least once, and that might happen in the Semi-finals.
