The Indore pitch used for the second Test between India and Australia has been the subject of much debate, with many questioning the quality of the surface. However, legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar believes that the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) decision to award three demerit points to the pitch was excessive.
Gavaskar, who is a member of the ICC’s Cricket Committee, said that the pitch was certainly not ideal for Test cricket, but that the three demerit points were too harsh. He said that the pitch was not as bad as some of the pitches seen in the past, and that the ICC should have taken into account the fact that the match was played in the middle of the monsoon season.

Gavaskar’s comments come after the ICC awarded three demerit points to the Indore pitch, which was deemed to be below average. The pitch was criticised for being too slow and low, and for not providing enough assistance to the spinners.
Gavaskar’s comments are sure to be welcomed by the Indian cricket board, who have been vocal in their criticism of the ICC’s decision. The Indian board has argued that the pitch was not as bad as some of the pitches seen in the past, and that the ICC should have taken into account the fact that the match was played in the middle of the monsoon season.
