(Source: AP)India opening batsman Murali Vijay differed with ICC match referee Chris Board, who gave a poor rating to the Pune wicket, saying the surface at best could be called a challenging one. “Pune wicket was not poor. As cricketers, we need to play on such wickets sometimes rather than playing on flat tracks. With the Pune Test ending inside three days and Broad giving a negative feedback on the surface quality, the pitch has become the main talking point leading up to the next Test. Asked whether he plans to make any changes in his technique, Vijay said there was no need of doing that as of now.
