India Baffled by Unpredictable Nassau County Pitch Ahead of Pakistan Clash

India's captain, Rohit Sharma, expressed uncertainty about the pitch conditions at the Nassau County ground ahead of their crucial T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan. The ground has witnessed inconsistent scores, including India's low total against Ireland.

"New York is not our home ground, and we don't have much awareness about its nature," said Rohit. "It behaves differently on different days, so even the curator is confused."

The slow outfield has added to the challenges, with some shots bouncing high and others struggling to roll. Rohit emphasized the importance of adapting to the conditions and playing smart cricket.

Despite the unpredictable pitch, Rohit remained confident in his team's ability to overcome adversity. "Playing good cricket holds the key, not opposition, not pitch," he said. "We have experience in playing in pace-friendly countries like Australia and South Africa, and we thrive in these difficult moments."

Rohit hinted that Rishabh Pant would continue to bat at No. 3, as he did against Ireland. He also downplayed the pressure of playing against Pakistan, stating that "nothing changes" and that "T20 is unpredictable."

India has a historical edge over Pakistan in World Cups, but Rohit refused to rely on past records. "On your day, anyone can beat anyone," he said.
