Pitch fixing in ranji trophy: Jammu and Kashmir vs Baroda match in the Ranji Trophy has come into the discussion due to wrong reasons. The match is being played at the Reliance Stadium in Vadodara, in which Baroda had scored 58 runs at the loss of 2 wickets by the end of the third day’s play. Baroda still has to score 307 runs to win. Now there have been allegations from the Jammu and Kashmir team that the Baroda team has tampered with the pitch. For this reason, the game of the third day started late.
According to The Indian Express, this incident took place last Saturday when Jammu and Kashmir coach Ajay Sharma found that the color of the pitch has changed compared to the first 2 days. The team has also filed a complaint in this regard, but Baroda Management has described all these allegations as baseless. Please tell that Hardik Pandya and his brother Krunal Pandya play only for Baroda.
All allegations baseless
Quoting The Indian Express, an official of the Baroda Cricket Association said, “The allegations made by the coach of Jammu and Kashmir are baseless. The ground was wet and the moisture and grass in the pitch were also wet due to cold weather. Believe it, whoever played cricket, understands that there is moisture in the pitch in cold weather, so it takes more time to dry. “
This officer further said that sometimes there is a delay in starting the match, but calling it pitch-fixing and accusing the association for this is not acceptable at all. We will complain about this matter to BCCI.
Let me tell you that this match is very important for both teams. A win can ensure that Jammu and Kashmir will remain on the top of the table in its group. At the same time, Baroda is in dire need of this victory to go to the quarterfinals.
