Sourav Ganguly, a lifelong supporter of pace bowling and sporting tracks, expressed his views in favor of preparing pitches that allow bowlers of all genres to thrive rather than just spinners. Ganguly, who had previously shared a similar opinion during India's home series against Australia, believes that the overall batting quality has suffered in the past years due to pitches with quick results in mind. He is confident that India will still be able to win matches even on good batting tracks.
