India scripted history as they won the third Test match against England in a couple of days. Virat Kohli's men won the game by 10 wickets. But since the start of the match, there has been a lot of buzz around the pitch at the Motera. Several players including Harbhajan Singh, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh and others said that the pitch was not good enough for Test cricket. Kevin Pietersen also joined the bandwagon and posted a tweet on social media where he said that he does not wish to see a wicket like this again. Wasim Jaffer who obviously read the tweet posted a hilarious meme as a response to the post.
