INDORE, India : Captain Rohit Sharma said India had done nothing wrong in trying to maximise home field advantage by selecting turning tracks for their series against Australia after a third straight test was wrapped up inside three days.
"At the start of the series, we made a choice of what kind of pitches we wanted to play on," Rohit told reporters after India's unbeaten nine-test run on home soil came to an end.Milking 'home advantage' is commonplace in test cricket and India are likely to roll out another turning track in Ahmedabad for the final match next week.
"We want to play to our strength and our strength is spin bowling and batting. Everyone uses that advantage outside. So what's wrong with that?"
