Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin recently made a groundbreaking claim in support of Virat Kohli's vision for standard Test centres in India. Backing Kohli's proposal from 2019, Ashwin emphasized the importance of player familiarity and consistent pitch conditions over crowd attendance. He highlighted the issue of varying regional pitches across the country, pointing out the lack of bounce in eastern India as a significant factor that affects the quality of Test matches. Ashwin argued that such conditions create ordinary playing environments and diminish the home advantage for the Indian team.
