At the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad, former England captain Kevin Pietersen and legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar engaged in a heated discussion about the condition of the pitch from the commentary box. Thus far, the opening Test match between India and England has been an excellent promotion for the format. The match has progressed quickly, with wickets falling at regular intervals and rewards going to the batters who were prepared to play shots. To the surface must be given much of the credit for that.
