By no means is the pitch used for the second Test match between South Africa and India at Newlands in Cape Town suitable for Test cricket. As both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli discovered on the first day, batters can never truly feel safe, even after spending a significant amount of time in the middle, because of the steep and unpredictable bounce that good length pitches offer. The belief was further reinforced with the pitch report provided by Shaun Pollock and Sunil Gavaskar prior to the commencement of play on the second day.

Gavaskar's blunt criticism suggests a deep concern about the quality of the pitch and the batting strategies witnessed in the IND vs SA 2nd Test.

Sunil Gavaskar's strong verdict reflects disappointment in the conditions and playing approaches seen in the 2nd Test between India and South Africa.

Gavaskar's direct assessment raises eyebrows, indicating dissatisfaction with both the pitch and the batting tactics employed in the IND vs SA 2nd Test.
