IND vs NZ: Hardik Pandya slams Lucknow pitch, calls it 'shocker of a wicket'

Indian captain Hardik Pandya didn't hold back in slamming the Lucknow pitch that was used for the second T20I against New Zealand.

Both teams found it hard to score runs on a pitch that offered prodigious turn; India could only chase down the 100-run target with only a ball to spare.

And Pandya expressed his dismay at the standard of the pitches in the first two matches.

"It was a shocker of a wicket. Both the games we have played so far. I don't mind difficult wickets. I am all up for that, but these two wickets were not made for T20."

"Even 120 would have been a winning score," Pandya added.
