Gambhir & Co give Kotla pitch the boot

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.
