Pink-ball Test: Nothing dangerous on the pitch, both India and England batted poorly, says Kevin Pietersen

India Today  

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen slammed the batting approach from both India and England and said the Pink-ball Test would have gone into Day 3 or even Day 4 if the batting performances were better. Kevin Pietersen's comments come after the Pink-ball Test in Ahmedabad ended inside 2 days, making it the shortest completed match since 1935. Speaking on an Instagram video, Kevin Pietersen, who had countered spin wonderfully during his match-winning knocks in India in 2012, lamented the 'dreadful' batting from both sides. England captain Joe Root also refused to point fingers at the pitch, saying the SG pink ball made it more difficult for the batsmen while conceding that they were outplayed by Virat Kohli's men in the 3rd Test.
