I think the pitch has not settled yet and was helping the bowlers a lot. In such a situation, it was important to stick to our basics and remember Test match bowling.” We will make changes according to the needs of the team Praising Arshdeep Singh’s bowling, Rohit Sharma said, “Arshdeep is adept at creating rhythm by swinging the ball in front of right-handed batsmen. I don’t think four spinners can be fielded on such a ground. If the conditions are favorable to the fast bowlers, then only they will play. The spinners will do their job later in the tournament. We will make changes according to the needs of the team.” India’s next match is against Pakistan on 9 June.

Let us tell you that in the match, the fast bowlers got an uneven bounce from the pitch, due to which the batsmen had to face a lot of trouble in batting. Batting first, the entire Ireland team was all out for just 96 runs, which is also their second lowest score in T20 cricket. For India, Hardik Pandya took 3 wickets, Jaspreet Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh took 2-2 wickets and Mohammad Siraj took 1 wicket. On the other hand, when India came out to chase this target, Team India got its first blow very early in the form of Virat Kohli (1). But after this, Rishabh Pant (36*), who came to bat, along with captain Rohit Sharma (52), made a partnership of 69 runs and put the match in India’s bag. But after the match was over, the pitch of New York Stadium was criticized a lot. Now a big statement has come from Indian team’s batting coach Vikram Rathore. Rathore says that it is the responsibility of the batsmen to adapt themselves according to difficult conditions. Vikram Rathore gave a big statement After India’s 8-wicket win over Ireland, Vikram Rathour said in the post-match speech, as per a report in India Today – It was a challenging wicket and we were expecting a challenging wicket as we had played a practice match here. So we knew what to expect from the pitch. So, it is what it is. We need to find a way to deal with it and I think our team has enough skill and enough experience to deal with it. We have got some really good batsmen who can bat well on any kind of pitch. I think that has been our strength for many years. We can adapt really well to different situations. I think on this pitch you need to adapt really well. One should not worry too much about it.
T20 World Cup 2024: Ahead of India vs Ireland match, Sanjay Manjrekar made a big appeal to ICC regarding New York pitch
The match between India and Ireland is to be played at this stadium on 5th June. Nassau County Stadium (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former player Sanjay Manjrekar believes that the drop-in pitch of New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium needs to be rolled as much as possible. This will make the pitch even better and the outfield will also be a little faster. Let us tell you, in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, a great match was played between South Africa and Sri Lanka on this ground on 3 June. South Africa won this match by 6 wickets. This match was low-scoring and the batsmen had to face a lot of problems here. Batting first, Sri Lanka scored 77 runs after losing all the wickets and in response, South Africa also took 16.2 overs to chase the target of 78 runs. Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Sanjay Manjrekar said, ‘I am having a little problem here because how will the ICC change the pitch here? It is not that it is not fully ready. However, they need to work harder to make an international standard and good T20 pitch. I think they will have to roll this pitch as much as possible. The outfield is very bad here. We saw this in the South Africa vs Sri Lanka match. The batsmen had a lot of trouble. I think the pitch can be a little better but the problem is that the outfield is very slow. ICC needs to work here. India vs Ireland match will also be played at this venue Let us tell you, a match is to be played between India and Ireland on June 5 at this stadium. This match is going to be great and the Indian team will definitely want to win it. However, they may also have to face a lot of problems here. Bowlers have a lot of help on this pitch but if the batsmen want to score runs, they will have to bat with patience. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Ruckus over the pitch before IND vs PAK match, what scary thing did the top 5 experts say about the USA pitch
The hosting of the T20 World Cup has been handed over to West Indies and America. But after the Sri Lanka and South Africa match played on June 3, this pitch is being criticized everywhere. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has also strongly criticized the pitch of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The drop-in pitch of the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium proved to be a nightmare for the Sri Lankan batsmen who struggled on the slow outfield. Four Sri Lankan players could not even open their account. Three players could not reach double figures. 7 matches are yet to be played on this pitch and the India-Pakistan match is also to be played on this drop-in pitch on 9 June. In such a situation, let’s know what 5 top experts said about the USA pitch- Former Team India all-rounder Irfan Pathan shared a post on the social media platform X. In this post, he has strongly criticized the pitch of this new stadium in New York. Irfan wrote in his post on X that, “This is by no means an ideal pitch for the T20 format.” “Overall I am not able to understand, is this a suitable pitch for the T20 format? I don’t think so. As far as I am concerned, it is not good enough for a T20 game. Yes, it should be a balanced wicket between bat and ball, but this pitch is heavily in favor of the bowlers. Playing on this pitch is not going to be easy at all for the batsmen.” 3. Manoj Tiwari “This is unacceptable because if a batsman hits a shot, the ball does not go fast on the field, and this is because the amount of sand used is more. It will be difficult for teams to score runs. Hitting sixes continuously is not possible on this pitch. You will have to play some shots along the ground. You will only be able to take singles instead of doubles. Such a pitch is unacceptable from the ICC because when the World Cup is going on and you have time to prepare for it, you should have also made a proper outfield.” 4. Farveez Maharoof “I heard someone in the commentary say that the best way to use the pitch is to play the 10-over circuit. Give them a chance in the first 10 overs when the ball is doing something while saving wickets for the second half. But, overall I don’t think it is a suitable wicket for T20 cricket and as far as I am concerned, it is not even good enough for a T20 match. It is not going to be easy at all for the batsmen, they will have to take 20 balls to understand the pace and the pitch.” 5. Faf du Plessis “Wow this wicket is spicy.”

Apart from this, many cricketers have given their opinion on this pitch.
