Chahal Criticizes Flat Pitches After West Indies Chase 250 in T20I
India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal criticized the flat pitches, small boundaries, dew, and the Impact Player rule in T20 cricket after West Indies chased down 250 runs in the second T20I in Ranchi. He argued these conditions heavily favor batters and limit bowlers' effectiveness, calling for pitches that offer more assistance to bowlers. West Indies captain Shai Hope scored an unbeaten 102, leading his team to a six-wicket victory and leveling the series 1-1. The match highlighted challenges bowlers face in high-scoring T20 games.
