Delhi Capitals want grass on Kotla pitch, DDCA says 'impossible'

New Delhi, April 5 (CRICKETNMORE): Over the years, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen home teams preparing wickets to suit their strength. But Delhi Capitals' request for wickets with grass has not been met by the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA). In fact, even as head coach Ricky Ponting made his displeasure known after DC lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday, the DDCA has made it clear that it is impossible to provide pitches that will have grass at this stage of the season.

While Ponting said that it was the 'worst wicket' DC had played on - after the five-wicket loss to SRH - team advisor Sourav Ganguly personally met curator Ankit Datta and spoke to him for good 20 minutes.
