It
seems even the Delhi Ranji team has ditched the Ferozeshah Kotla pitch. A
desperate Delhi team management, looking for an outright win, has forced their
fourth round Ranji trophy match to be shifted to Roshanara grounds from the
Ferozeshah Kotla. “Skipper Gautam Gambhir and the team thinktank have insisted
the game be played at the Roshanara ground instead of the Kotla. We have to do
it as we want to make the team comfortable,” said DDCA vice-president Chetan
Chauhan.
Delhi’s first game against Jharkhand, where they
were favourites, was washed out and they conceded points in the second round
game against Gujarat. It has been learnt that the team isn’t happy with the
dead Kotla track and want an outright win against Haryana to stay in
contention. Hence they want to play at Roshanara, where the pitch supports the
seamers a lot. The match begins on November 21.
