Indian cricket has landed in a huge controversy and in a embarrassing act Pune pitch curator Pandurang Salgaoncar was seen giving inside information to reporters disguised as bookies, in a sting operation done by India Today.
Shockingly, second ODI of the three-match series between India and New Zealand will be played at the same venue. In Sting operation, he revealed that the pitch will be made according to ‘bookies’ demands.
The BCCI and the ICC rules state that no one – other than the officials – can come inside the stadium or inspect the pitch for that matter.
However, Salgaonkar even allowed them to look at the pitch ahead of the India match. He also mentioned the fact that the wicket will be a 350+ wicket and the team batting second can also chase down the target as it will be a batting paradise.
