Twitter divided over Ben Stokesā comment on calling Chennaiās pitch trash after low-score debacle
After Mumbai Indians set a target of 132 for Punjab Kings, it became yet another low-scoring thriller in Chennai, with PBKS struggling to chase down the total. Ben Stokes, however, was vocally critical of the pitch, with the all-rounder slamming the Chennai pitch, calling it ātrashā.
Chennai picthes are TRASH?? :O :O
Hope the wickets donāt get worse as the @IPL gets deeper into the tournament..160/170 minimum not scraping to 130/140 cause the wickets are trash..

Lol! Looks like he is..
Bro looks like you guys still haven't recovered from the India Test Series loss still whining about pitchesš

Have got no Idea!š
Why bowling tracks titled as "trash" and highways referred to as "excellent pitch"š

Why always the bowlers have to suffer?
Point to be noted! But you gotta tag the right person to organize!
Chennai's Wicket is trashed, you can't organise IPL there only Test matches should be allowed

Fair enought to discuss!
Just because batsmen struggle to score runs doesn't make it any less exciting. What's the point in watching bowlers being hit for 200+ every single game?
