Ekana Stadium, Lucknow Pitch Report

"This ground has some of the longest boundaries and that's what you want to see with the kind of power that the batters exhibit nowadays. As a spinner I don't think you would like this pitch as there's a lot more grass on this surface.

"All of them are making the ball fly. Every team is encouraging the groundsman to put a little more grass. The ball will come on to the bat nicely and if you are a good player, you can make use of the pace and bang the ball around. We can see a lot more runs despite the big boundaries," he had added.
