IND vs ENG: After Michael Vaughan's pitch criticism, now he has THIS to say

The first and second Test of the four-match Test series between India and England was played at Chepauk and the pitch had faced a lot of criticism, especially from former England skipper Michael Vaughan.

While England won the first Test, India made a comeback in the second. Vaughan, however, was not happy with the pitch conditions and ended up getting into a Twitter spat with former Australia international Shane Warne. The decision even went to whether or not such a pitch should be allowed for international cricket. 

However, Vaughan seemingly made a U-turn on Sunday, saying it made sense for home teams to have home advantage.

Totally agree ... https://t.co/SR9uEZMFrN

The response came after Indian opener Rohit Sharma had slammed the discussions over spinning pitches in India. He said that the team has every right to make use of the home advantage. The Hitman added that no one discussed the nature of the pitches when India travel overseas and said others too should not make a controversy out of anything.

"Both teams play on the same pitch, I've never understood why it's debated so much," he said at a press conference. 

"People keep talking about it, but the fact is this is how pitches in India have been for a long time. I don't think anything should change. Everyone makes use of the home advantage. When we go outside, no one thinks about us - so why should we think of others?

"We need to go with our team's preference. That's the meaning of home advantage. Else, just take it away. The ICC should come up with a uniform rule everywhere for pitches in India and outside India. When we go abroad, people make our life difficult. I don't think pitches should be debated at all. Debates can be held on players, their performances, and how they are batting or bowling, but don't debate pitches. Both teams play on the same pitch and whoever plays better wins."

Rohit even said that the team, particularly the batsmen, don't stress too much on the nature of the pitches. "As a team, we don't take it to mind," he said. 

"What's there is there. Thinking much about pitches isn't going to change anything. Our focus is on how to play on the pitch. Do we need to step out or sweep? If it's a seaming pitch, do we have to stand forward, do we need to leave a lot to defend? Got to think like this."
