Rohit-Dravid changed the pitch of the World Cup final, Mohammad Kaif made a shocking revelation
Mohammad Kaif World Cup 2023: Mohammad Kaif has made a big revelation regarding the pitch of the final. The veteran said that he had seen the colour of the pitch changing. Apart from this, he also blamed Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid for their defeat in the World Cup.
Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif has made a big revelation regarding the final of the ODI World Cup 2023. In an interview given to 'The Lallantop', he told how Indian captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid changed the pitch of the final and made the flat wicket a slow wicket. Which later weighed heavily on him.
After losing the final against Australia, the Indian team was accused of changing the pitch to take advantage of the home conditions. Now it has become clear from Kaif's statement that the team prepares its pitches even in ICC tournaments.
Kaif said, 'I was there three days ago, we did a lot of live shows from there and I have seen the colour of the pitch changing. Both Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid came in the evening, looked around the pitch and then left. He came on the second day also and kept looking at the pitch for a long time. Talked there for an hour and left. This has happened continuously for three days.
Kaif further said, "I have seen the colour of the pitch change, the blue I am wearing will look yellow after three days. Just like that, within three days the pitch became cloudy. No water, no grass. To defeat Australia. They wanted to give him slow pitches. This is true whether people believe it or not, I am speaking as a commentator. They thought that he had fast bowling like Cummins and Starc. So don't give him slow pitches and there is the mistake. Hui.'
Kaif said, 'No matter how much people say that home advantage cannot be taken in ICC tournaments. The pitch curator does his job. This is all nonsense. When you are walking near the pitch, you talk to the curator and ask him to cut the grass a little. Add less water. Only two lines have to be said. What happened is that to take maximum advantage of the home ground, India made the pitch so slow that the bet backfired on them.
