Ahmedabad: There is no reason to cry over the nature of the Motera track, India Head coach Ravi Shastri asserted on Saturday, saying the curator prepared pitches that produced fantastic entertainment in the last two matches in Ahmedabad.

While England struggled on the spin-friendly track, India claimed victories in the third and fourth Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium to qualify for the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in June.
