Will Karun Nair’s Three-Hundred cost India the match?
Well, this question is a bit of dilemma. If I put myself in Virat Kohli’s shoes, I would probably have done the same. The reason to defend Kohli’s decision of allowing Karun and co. to bat deep into the fourth day is simple – The pitch is dead. There is hardly anything on offer for pacers and spinners alike. With India already leading 3-0 in this series, it made sense to secure this Test and in the process elongate India’s unbeaten streak to 18 Test matches which will happen tomorrow.
But from neutral’s point of view, this is hardly an advert of Test cricket and this must be addressed at the earliest by captains and teams alike in future.
