Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has stirred controversy by accusing skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid of meddling with the World Cup 2023 final pitch. His allegations have raised questions about the integrity of pitch preparation and its influence on match outcomes.

Mohammad Kaif’s Allegations

Kaif, who was present at the Narendra Modi Stadium during the final, claimed to have witnessed changes in the pitch over three days. He asserted that the Indian team management, including Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, intervened to manipulate the pitch conditions to favor slow bowling.

Kaif’s Statements and Criticism

In an interview with The Lallantop, Kaif expressed disappointment over the pitch manipulation tactics employed by the Indian team management. He criticized the decision to alter the pitch excessively, attributing it to India’s defeat in the final.

Kaif said, “Emotions the. 2003 mein inse (Australia) hum haare the. Main waha 3 din tha. Rohit Sharma shaam ko aaye, Dravid dono shaam ko aaye. Pitch pe gaye, ghume kaisi pitch hai. Ye 3 din lagatar hua hai aur maine pitch ka rang badalte hue dekha hai. Cummins hai Starc hai, inke pass tezz gendbaazi hai, toh inko naa slow pitch do aur waha galti hui. 100%. Chahe log kitna bhi bole ki curator apna kaam karta hai, hum kuch nahi bolte, bakwaas hai. (Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma arrived in the evening to examine the field. They stood behind the pitch every hour for three days, and I witnessed the pitch turn a different color. Give them slow pitches because they have fast bowlers like Starc and Cummins. And that’s where they went wrong. People saying that the curator makes the pitch and no one has a say is just rubbish. This is the truth, even if people don’t want to believe it).

Host Country’s Influence on Pitch Preparation

Kaif acknowledged the host country’s prerogative to dictate pitch conditions but cautioned against excessive interference. While conceding that such practices are commonplace in cricket, Kaif emphasized balance and fair play in pitch preparation.

Kaif said, “You have to express just two sentences when you are moving across the field. Please don’t add water; just cut down on the grass. That is reality. And it should to be carried out. You’re at home playing. And we overindulged in it.”

Impact on the World Cup Final

The pitch alterations purportedly backfired on India as Australia emerged victorious in the final, chasing down a target of 240 runs. Despite early success, the Indian bowlers struggled to contain Travis Head, who played a pivotal role in Australia’s triumph.

Australia’s Victory and Indian Strategy

Despite India’s efforts to tailor the pitch to their advantage, Australia’s bowlers, particularly Pat Cummins, demonstrated resilience and adaptability. Cummins’ decision to bowl first in a final, despite conventional wisdom favoring batting first, proved instrumental in securing Australia’s victory.

The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is all set to begin with England taking New Zealand. The defending champions England will be meeting the runners-up from last year New Zealand in the opening match of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Thursday. There has been a social media buzz about the opening ceremony of the same but as per a report in the Times of India, nothing sort of that was ever planned.

World Cup opening ceremony

There have been reports of the opening ceremony of the World Cup ahead of the start of the tournament but nothing official has been disclosed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India of the International Cricket Council. The Times of India quoted a source saying, “There was never an opening ceremony planned for the World Cup. I can confirm that.” The source further added, “In the case of the IPL, you can have a short opening ceremony, as the match starts in the evening. Here, the match starts in the afternoon.”

Rohit on India’s chances

However, the BCCI held the Captains’ Day on the eve of the World Cup curtain raiser. In the event, all of the 10 captains participated where Ravi Shastri and Eoin Morgan spoke to them in detail about the much-anticipated event. When Rohit Sharma was asked about India’s chances of winning the Cup as the last three World Cups were won by one of the hosting nations, he chose to downplay. “Not thinking too much about that stuff but yeah in last 3 editions hosting teams won the World Cups and we will give our everything in this World Cup and enjoy the tournament,” Rohit said in the World Cup 2023 Captain’s Day event.

He also opined, “People are going to love this tournament. The stadiums will be jam-packed. Indians love their cricket. It is going to be a great tournament.” The toss of the opening match of the World Cup will start at 1:30 PM IST with the play scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM.

Sources reported on Friday that this will be the first time the two bitter rivals will meet on Indian soil since the T20 World Cup in 2016.

“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to host the high-voltage match at the Ahmedabad stadium in anticipation of a large number of fans who are expected to travel to India from abroad for the fixture, it is learnt. With a seating capacity of 1 lakh, the Narendra Modi Stadium is the country’s largest,”

the report added.

Narendra Modi Stadium – – the world’s biggest cricket arena – – could have India’s two matches in the league stages, while Pakistan could play most of their matches in Chennai and Bengaluru because of safety reasons, with Kolkata’s Eden Gardens additionally viable.

After the IPL 2023 season is over, the BCCI will hold a grand launch to announce the ODI World Cup, which will take place in October and November

Matches are scheduled to take place in Nagpur, Bengaluru, Trivandrum, Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Rajkot, Indore, Bengaluru, and Dharamshala for the World Cup, which is likely to begin on October 5.

In addition to the match against Pakistan, the BCCI has sought the Indian team management’s preferences for the matches. The Indian team has asked the BCCI to schedule matches against South Africa, Australia, England, and New Zealand at places where spinners might be used.

“The Indian team has performed well on slow tracks in the past few years at home. So the team management had requested that whenever the schedule is being prepared the Indian team should face top teams on slow pitches. They wanted to have the home advantage,”

a source in the BCCI was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.
