A detailed post on how Rohit Sharma and management rigged the pitches in World Cup 2023 and how it backfired. [A THREAD] 
1) IND vs AUS:
Chennai pitch is generally a slow one. But the one which was used for Ind vs aus was extremely slow despite being a fresh pitch. It almost backfired on Ind but Kohli and KL saved Ind.

2) IND vs AFG
Curators have left a lot of d34d grass on a generally turning Delhi pitch to avoid threats from Afg spinners. It ended up being a flat pitch. Afg didn't have fire power to post 400.
Proper Delhi pitch was used during Eng vs Afg and you know how Afg performed.

3) IND vs PAK
Only India's games at Ahmedabad were played on black soil tracks. To eliminate Shaheen's threat in front of 1.3L people, they made a slow and low wicket. Pak having the worst spin attack also helped Ind. And they were lucky with the toss unlike Final.

4) IND vs BAN
Bangladesh defeated India in Asia cup a month before this game on a turning track. The only chance for Ban was when the wicket offered turn. It wasn't to be. Ban didn't have batting prowess to score 350+. Easy win for Ind.

5) IND vs NZ
Dharamsala uncharacteristically had a very dry track for this particular game to avoid NZ new ball threat. It almost backfired as pitch became slower and slower and it brought Santner, Ravindra into the game. Thankfully Kohli held up one end and ensured a smooth win

6) IND vs ENG
Most games at Lucknow had batting tough under the lights. England chose to bowl and inflicted self damage. Though their bowling was top notch and some umpiring decisions went against them.

7) IND vs SL
Similar story. Only way SL could have competed is if the pitch was turning to some extent. But India provided a fresh pitch with a lot of grass and bundled SL out for 55 under lights.

8) IND vs SA
Eden Gardens has been a nightmare for spinners ever since 2015. But unusual change in the nature of the track was seen. It was a rank turner instead. Still unbelievable how extraordinary Kohli's ton was. SA being poor chasers ensured match was over in first half.

9) IND vs NED
There was no reason to rig the pitch for this game🤭. Everyone feasted on Ned bowlers and posted 400.

10) IND vs NZ semis
Used pitch was used for this game to make it slow and avoid extra movement and carry in case Ind bats second. But luckily Ind won the toss and posted a huge total.

11) IND vs AUS final
Just horrible. Possibly the worst pitch for a knockout game. They expected a repeat of Ind vs Aus group stage game but lost the toss and had to bat first. The ball didn't even bounce to knee height after powerplay.

There was no self belief from Rohit Sharma. India would have easily won the trophy had they taken pitch out of equation. Rohit didn't believe in his team.
He is the main reason why India failed to win this WC.
ROHIT SHARMA IS THE FIRST CAPTAIN TO LOSE A HOME WC SINCE 2007

You might have won 5 IPL trophies due to the resources you had. But you can never be a good leader who instills confidence in the team.
In the end, the only thing which will standout is
"ROHIT SHARMA LOST A RIGGED ODI WC AT HOME IN FRONT OF 1.3L PEOPLE"
