Pragyan Ojha defends Motera pitch: It is not written that you will be tested only on seaming tracks

Former India spinner Pragyan Ojha has defended the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera on which the third Test finished inside 3 days with the home team beating England by 10 wickets to go 2-1 up in the four-match series.

Spinners from both sides wreaked havoc on the surface where 30 wickets fell in two days, 17 of them in Thursday's first two sessions of the day-night match.

"Definition of a Test match is - you have to be tested on any surface. It is not written that you will be tested on seaming track and not on tracks which is assisting the spinners," Ojha said on Sports Today.
