Yes. he obviously made a bad choice. As captain he is aware of the fact there were no quality pace attack left due to injury or omissions. So, there was no point in trying to take advantage of the green pitch. He should have rather batted for four or five (if possible) and then bowl to Eastern Zoners on the used pitch. Remember, BD will have to bat last on this pitch. I was looking for stats on how a team fared batting in fourth innings (2nd for BD) but did not find anything on the net. But Ash and Dav must have this information about Nagpur ground.
