Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma has criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC) for what he perceives as double standards in the rating of cricket pitches. He highlighted the inconsistency in reactions to pitches favoring seam bowlers versus those aiding spinners, particularly in India. Rohit pointed out the discrepancy in pitch ratings, even when batsmen have succeeded on them, and called for neutrality and fairness in the assessment process. His comments come in the wake of a Test match with a pitch that exhibited extreme seam movement, contrasting with the criticism Indian pitches receive for turning from day one. Rohit urges the ICC and match referees to be impartial and consistent in their evaluations.
