Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav praised his team’s flexibility and positive mentality after winning 15 runs in the third T20 match against England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. This victory has given India an unbeatable lead of 3–1 in the five-match series. Yadav said after the match on Friday, “Everyone performed well on the field. From the beginning to the end there was a crowd of spectators, they were always behind us and everyone supported us. We did not want to move back after 12/3 and the boys know what kind of cricket we want to play. ”
India’s innings began with Saqib Mahmud’s record-throat triple-viccade medan, which reduced the hosts at 12/3 in two overs. But Yadav insisted on the unwavering spirit of his team, especially Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey on how to face the crisis. Both shared an 88 -run partnership, in which both players scored 53 runs, making India a competitive score of 181/9. Surya said, “Three wickets in one over, it was too much for us. But the way he batted, the way he replied, the way he showed a positive intention and the way Hardik and Dubey showed their experience were fantastic. This is something that we are talking about – expressing ourselves and you bat in the same way you do in the nets. ”
England had an aggressive start as openers Phil Salet and Ben Docket harassed India’s fast bowlers during power-play. Docks were in particularly magnificent form, he scored 39 runs off just 19 balls. England looked in a good position in six overs at a score of 62/0. But India’s bowlers made a fast comeback. Ravi Bishnoi dismissed Docket on the last ball of power-play and Akshar Patel took the crucial wicket of Salt. Bishnoi again dismissed Butler for just 2 runs, leading to England’s score to 67/3 in the eighth over. While talking about the decisive phase of the match after the powerplay, Yadav’s trust in his team’s perspective was clear. “I knew that after the powerplay, between 7-10 overs, this was the time when we could control the game, and the same happened. We took some wickets and controlled the game. “
Despite the failures, the Harry Brook of England retaliated. His banging half -century off 26 balls kept the visiting team in the match. But as soon as England were gaining control, Varun Chakraborty achieved Breakthrough, Brook for 51 runs and Bridan Cars quickly dismissed England. Harshit Rana, who made his T20 debut as a conversion substitute, had an immediate effect. He first dismissed Liam Livingstone and continued to impress with his debut performance, as the fast bowler dismissed Jacob Bethel and then Jamie overton in the final over. His 3/33 figures were important in India’s victory.
The contribution of Rana, who debuted, was specially mentioned by his captain. Rana, who came as a conversion substitute in place of Shivam Dubey, performed an incredible performance, took three wickets in his debut match and turned to India’s favor. After drinks, when Shivam Dubey could not come out, Harshit Rana came as the third seamar and performed well for us. It was incredible. ” Given the final T20 to be held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Yadav expressed hope of predicting an exciting match. “There will be a lot of fireworks, I am sure.”
