Poll Do you agree with Aakash Chopra's view that overly bowler-friendly pitches reduce the competitiveness of the matches? Yes, I agree No, I disagreeFormer India cricketer Aakash Chopra has advised against preparing rank turner pitches for the upcoming two-match Test series between India and West Indies, warning that such surfaces could prove counterproductive by reducing the gap between the two teams. "Chopra emphasized that excessive bowling-friendly conditions could benefit the West Indies spinners, potentially making them appear more formidable than they are. "Such pitches are not required at all because the more bowler-friendly pitches you make, the closer the teams come. When you make such pitches in India, where runs aren't scored, you don't get confidence, and runs won't be scored overseas in any case.
