India veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin trolled after he posted for the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium pitch where India is taking Pakistan for the T20 World Cup 2024 clash. Ashwin hailed the curator for the pitch they made for the arch-rival clash in New York. 

 

Ashwin took his ‘X’ (formerly known as twitter) to hail the pitch just after Kohli's wicket. After Ashwin's tweet, India lost another wicket. Netizens started trolling him for his opinion on the pitch.

“For all the pitch talk, must say the curator has done a fine job to get this deck in order. It’s early in the game but definitely different to the previous games” tweeted Ashwin. 

 

Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma lost the toss and asked to bat first and Men in Blue are playing against Pakistan without any changes in the playing XI. 

 

Babar Azam at Toss 

 

We will bowl first because of the weather and moisture in the pitch. The conditions suit us, we have four fast bowlers. We will try to use it to our best. Past is past, we are looking forward to today's match, we are ready and will give our 100%. Always a big game, our confidence is always high for India vs Pak. Azam Khan is resting.
