Virat Kohli said the poor application from batsmen of both the sides was the main reason behind the day-night pink-ball Test ending so quickly. The third Test at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad became the shortest Test match (in terms of balls bowled) since 1935. Alastair Cook, however questioned Kohli’s judgement and said it was ‘hard’ to bat on. "Virat Kohli's come out and defended the wicket almost as if it's a BCCI thing - it cannot possibly be the wicket. "We saw a stat that says this pitch has spun more than any other pitch in India," Cook said.
