After India lost the series opener to Australia by a massive 333-runs, ICC match referee Chris Broad stated that the Pune pitch was of ‘poor’ quality.
Anil Kumble, however, was done with all the pitch talk in the pre-match conference on Thursday. “Pitch is only 22 yards, it won't be different here”, said the coach, asking why no one raised these questions in the last nine Tests.
Making it clear that Rahane would not be dropped, Anil Kumble dodged the question on whether Karun Nair would be included in the playing eleven instead of Jayant Yadav.
