'Big stars in Team India always creates pressure, always try to...': Umpire Nitin Menon's sensational claim

Hindustan Times  

Umpiring in India or in a match involving the Indian team is arguably the toughest task in the profession. He rather pointed his fingers at the big stars of the Indian team while claiming that the constant pressure put on him in the last three years has helped him grow as an ICC Elite Panel umpire. "When India play in India there is a lot of hype, lot of big stars in the Indian team they always try to create pressure on you, they always try to get those 50-50 decisions in favour of them but if we are in control of ourselves under pressure, then we don't focus on what they are trying to do," he said. I did not have a lot of experience initially but the last three years has helped me grow as an umpire," said the only Indian in the elite panel." Menon will be seen in the third Test match of the five-games Ashes series and having the experience of umpiring a game in England last year, he knows what to expect.
