I didn't expect anything different from BCCI.

India (Ind) vs South Africa (SA): India-South Africa tie to be high-scoring, says VCA curator
I don't think BCCI is a good organization but this is really not something they should be criticized for. This is what happens when you read first line and decided to make a silly thread.

"Basically, it's a sporting wicket which offers equal help to batsmen and bowlers. But because of high temperature, the top layer of grass has dried out. The dryness of grass might negate the early movement of the new ball. The flat surface will surely benefit the batters,"


And let's not forget the SAffie batting line up of Smith, Amla, Kallis, AB and Duminy. I am not sure with that batting lineup India will have any advantage.
