Bangladesh's hopes ended abruptly yesterday as it suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of India in the first Test at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Najmul Hossain Shanto's Bangladesh had won 2-0 against Pakistan recently but faced a 280-run loss to India. While bowling, India had complete control over the game and barely gave Bangladesh a moment of happiness in the match. The pitch was good for both batting and bowling. Basit Ali, a former Pakistan fame has hailed the pitch curators for the effort. He even mentions that in his country, people says that there is no value of pitch and term them illiterates. He expressed frustration stating that those who have played cricket with pride are within the Board (PCB), asking questions of what they are telling the kids. He said on his YouTube channel. "Bumrah picked 5 wickets in the game, Ashwin took 6 wickets, Jadeja clinched 5, Siraj took 2 and Akash Deep claimed 2 wickets. This is the account of 20 wickets. The bowlers ticked all the boxes. India played two spinners, keeping in mind that the ball will spin and it happened. So the credit goes to the pitch curators, who know how to make a Test match surface. Not like us... I am not going to that side but I am filled with anger," "In our nation, they say there is no value of pitch. They are illiterate people. The one who have played cricket with pride are there on the Board (PCB). This is what I get angry. What are you teaching to kids" "50 per cent of the issue is solved if you read the pitch well, ask Sunil Gavaskar and Javed Miandad. But they don't understand," Also Read | Watch: Shubman Gill teases Siraj over old viral video, saying, "Ye official ID hai" Bumrah took four wickets in the first innings, which was pivotal to breaking down the Bangladesh batting and holding them to just 149 runs.
