Are we fools to believe that?: Badrinath on Gaikwad's 'pitch was slow' remark
Former India cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath criticised CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad's remark that the pitch was slow following CSK's five-wicket loss to PBKS in IPL 2026. "Are we fools to believe that? How's the wicket slow? [CSK] scored 209, and there wasn't one minute, ball or over [PBKS] were under pressure in the run-chase," he said.
