'I saw the pitch changing colour': Mohammad Kaif claims India 'doctored' Ahmedabad pitch ahead of 2023 ODI World Cup final

Firstpost  

“Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid came in the evening to inspect the pitch and this was done for three days straight, and I saw the pitch changing colour," said Mohammad Kaif. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has claimed that Team India “doctored” the Ahmedabad pitch by making it slower ahead of the ODI World Cup final against Australia last November, and blamed skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid for the Men in Blue’s six-wicket defeat. “Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid came in the evening to inspect the pitch and this was done for three days straight, and I saw the pitch changing colour. India have not won an ODI World Cup title since 2011, when MS Dhoni and Co defeated Sri Lanka in the final at Wankhede Stadium to lift their second title.
