After 15 wickets fell on Sunday, the Chennai pitch had come in for criticism; and VVS Laxman praised the effort of Virat and Ashwin in "challenging conditions".

As Lxman kept praising the effort of Ashwin and Virat, Sunil Gavaskar joined in and also slammed those criticising the pitch, saying that "some people are always complaining".
