Dialogue between cricket player and reporter
Answers
Explanation:
The second ODI between India and New Zealand was under threat when the video of Pune curator unveiling the details of the pitch surfaced. It was the sting operation carried out by an India Today reporter which exposed Pandurang Salgaonkar who was caught asking money for preparing the pitch based on the requirement of the bookie. He informed the game would be a high-scoring one and anything around 337 could be chaseable.
The news spread like wildfire and even the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was shocked as they right away suspended the curator to avoid any further complications. However, the match underwent smoothly without any hindrance and Team India levelled the series by winning the must-win encounter by 6 wickets. Also, the match was a comparatively low-scoring one against Salgaonkar’s assurance. The wicket slowed down as the game progressed and even Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan acknowledged that stroke making was difficult in the evening.
