India National Cricket Team batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has openly contradicted the head coach Gautam Gambhir over his views on the pitch prepared for the first Test against the South Africa National Cricket Team.
Sitanshu Kotak said that no one wanted the kind of surface that was produced by the curator for the Test series opener at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Gautam said that he took all the blame on himself - Sitanshu KotakIndia's decision to deploy a bowling-friendly track at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata backfired heavily against the Proteas as they were at the receiving end of a humiliating 30-run loss.
