Virat Kohli faces tough questions despite controversial pitches | Sledging Room, Episode 39

Virat Kohli is of course not the lone batter to struggle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Indore pitch was in focus after India's dramatic collapse in the first innings and another below-par performance in the second. After a 9-wicket defeat, India captain Rohit Sharma said his team just wanted to play to its strengths? But are these pitches really a good idea, especially against Australia?

Moreover, are India well prepared to take on Australia's spinners? Even in Nagpur and Delhi, the top-order had a tough time against Nathan Lyon and his two rookie spin partners. Rohit Sharma stood out in the first Test with a classy hundred while the lower-order trio of Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin and Axar Patel have pulled India out of tricky situations. They could not fire in Indore and the result was a sound defeat.

Akshay Ramesh and Saurabh Kumar join Rajarshi Gupta in another heated debate on the Sledging Room.
