Motera pitch had no such demons, was easy to bat once I got in: Rohit Sharma

[rangeelaraja]

Chalo lets hope for a repeat in Motera #2

He is in a purple patch so once in, it may have been relatively easier for him to bat ... also Eng only had one specialist spinner 

[New guy]

He benefited first innings by having pacers bowl to him for a long time. Same as crawly

Don’t give Kohli any new ideas for PR in the next test.

It is not Motera pitch, but Narendra Modi pitch

[Bundaberg]

Yeah ok an Indian player along with the Indian commentators getting told what to say about the pitches. LOL

The fascinating part is the players who played the game have not been critical of the pitch but random fans have these revolutionary views about the pitch. Also, it's hilarious looking at moralistic reactions to this win. "We won, but not happy", ahh well no one cares.

Credit to these English players, fantastic signs for their future with this kind of attitude.

 

Contrast this to Elgar/Faf's crying in the 2019 series, no wonder with that cowardly attitude their record reads: won 0, lost 13 in Asia since 2015 Oct.

England players have understood the importance of being atmanirbhar on Modiji's khel bhoomi. That is the reason they are not complaining about the pitch.

Motera is the name of the locailty in Ahmedabad just like Chepauk for Chennai. Narendra Modi is the name of the stadium not the pitch just like MA Chidambaram in Chennai

He is already too rich from cricket, IPL and endorsements that he could do just about nothing for the rest of his life. Why would he care. He is not Kohli who would do PR like the one he did with Steve Smith for maintaining his brand image. Also Rohit was the top scorer in a low scoring game. scored 90 runs in 120 balls in a game where others found themselves missing a straight ball.
