Ban for Rohit Sharma? ICC sanctions for his pitch rating..?!

In an interview given at the end of the South African Test series, rohit sharma criticized the international cricket Council (ICC) and match replays and spoke angrily. It is said in the cricket circles that there is a possibility of action against rohit sharma as per the ICC rules and the ICC will decide about it in a couple of days. The indian team was participating in a two-match Test series in South Africa. The first Test match was played at Centurion, South Africa. The match ended in three days. The pitch of the ground was favorable for fast bowling. So, right then many people said that the pitch was not right and that's why the match was over in three days. As if there was no place left, the second Test match was held at the Newlands stadium in Cape Town. Even worse, the match ended in a day and a half. The entire Test ended in just 107 overs, with a total of 33 wickets lost.
Even experienced batsmen struggled to score runs. In this situation, there was heavy criticism about the pitch where the match took place. At the press conference after the match, indian team captain rohit sharma said that there was no problem with the pitch and talked about the ICC's evaluation of the pitches. This means that after every international match, the ICC will assess how well the pitch was prepared. It will be graded from one to six.
The pitch on which the 2023 world cup finals took place had the fourth-best below-average rating. rohit sharma also talked about it. He has no problem playing on pitches like Cape Town, similarly, on the first day in India, no one should talk about the spin but the pitch. If everyone shuts up then he has no problem with this pitch either. I have seen a lot of how ICC and match replays rate pitches. Rohit also said that the evaluation given to the world cup final cannot be accepted. Distraught fans expressed their displeasure against rohit sharma as his speech was directly critical of ICC and its officials. Accordingly, he will be awarded demerit points. If a player scores too many points in a given period, he will be banned from certain matches. So, rohit sharma is said to be in trouble. At the same time, there is a possibility that the rohit sharma issue may be overlooked by the bcci as it has more influence in the ICC structure.
