A lot of questions are being raised regarding the pitch of Kolkata Test, where the batsmen of India and South Africa were struggling to score runs. This can be gauged from the fact that in all four innings, only Temba Bavuma was able to score a half-century. Harbhajan Singh got so enraged that he even wrote ‘RIP Test Cricket’.
Not only Harbhajan Singh, but many veterans have raised questions on this pitch. Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan also called it a useless pitch. Aaron Finch also reacted to this. Talking about Harbhajan Singh, he posted on X and wrote, “India vs South Africa Test cricket was almost over on the second day itself. What a joke.” Bhajji wrote along with it a hashtag #RIPTESTCRICKET.

Test cricket has been destroyed – Bhajji
Harbhajan Singh, who has been candid about everything, while sharing a video on this, wrote, “Yesterday I had talked about destroying Test cricket in the Kolkata Test. This practice has been going on for many years, this is the wrong way to play. We are not moving forward, just roaming around like the bulls in the same crusher. We are winning but there is no benefit.”
Bhajji further said, “What is the use if the batsmen are getting out not because of the ability of the bowler but because of the pitch. It is bad to see, the way cricket is going on, the match is ending in two and a half days, it is very surprising for me. We lost to New Zealand, then lost this series. We went to England, played such good cricket but then came home and lost.”
Awful pitch in Kolkata… #INDvSA

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan had posted a post on the second day of the Kolkata Test, calling the pitch useless. He had written, “The pitch in Kolkata is useless.”
Former Australian cricketer Aaron Finch wrote, “What are your thoughts on the kind of wicket we are seeing in Kolkata? I like to see the batsmen standing completely surrounded by the fielders, the ball spinning so much, it is a lot of fun to see it.”
