Rohit Sharma’s inspirational leadership and positive approach helped India completely overtake England 49 times in the second T20 International to close a three-match streak with a 2-0 lead in the Premier League. Edgbaston on Saturday.
Hit the first ball, India once again showed intent to attack from start to finish as it hit 170 for eight riders on new ‘all-rounder’ Ravindra Jadeja (46 out of 29 balls) after a sudden collapse Dump in the middle phase on a full speed track and bounce.
In possession of the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s new-found rhythm (3/15) in his powerful persuasion is superbly complemented by the deft duo of Jasionary Bumrah (2/10) and Yuzevndra Chahal (2/). 10) when England’s innings exploded with a meager score of 121 in 17 voiceovers.
If Indian batting is very good in both games, bowling is simply excellent with complete dominance in PowerPlays.
Since he has a full-time captaincy, the Indian team has yet to lose a game under him. There have been three clean runs – New Zealand (3-0), West Indies (3-0), Sri Lanka (3-0) and a fourth against England in the match that now looks imminent.
With three months left for World T20, the XI playing on Saturday has shown a glimpse into the batting order and its philosophy going forward.
Rishabh Pant’s advance (26 of 15 balls) as an opener alongside captain Rohit (31 of 20 balls) was a welcome move where the team at least won’t make a mistake out of caution. during the game.
In between this duo, they hit seven innings and three in six in their first six passes, an approach that was missing during last year’s T20 World Cup.
The strategy was to keep hitting shots even if the shot fell on one end and Virat Kohli (1 out of 3 balls) felt peer pressure and the wrongly timed skier showed great improvement. his despair.
But the most impressive aspect came from 89 for the year, as India still managed to hit 170, courtesy Jadeja, who hasn’t had a great time in T20 cricket had a grueling time in CSK in IPL.
Jadeja seems to be playing with a free mind and it’s clear that even when the stick falls on the other end, there’s no let-up in his play because the scoreboard has a competitive feel to it.
The swing is back
A good white Indian team always has Bhuvneshwar as a key component in the layout. In the first game, it was a banana thrower who overtook rival captain Jos Buttler, and on Saturday a classic runner saw Jason Roy pass it for the first time to slip the rope.
The insidious Bhuvneshwar then asked Pant to go to the tree stump to stop Buttler from making the attack and the result was an overly lazy shot into the goalkeeper’s glove.
Liam Livingstone (15 years old) with an orange helmet was fooled by a Bumrah slow cutter that took a long time to turn around and knock the sailboats off.
Harry Brook had some boundaries but when Chahal threw a shot he took the bait but couldn’t get it right. Moeen Ali (35 years old) had a few shots but England regularly lost points when Rohit used his pitch brilliantly.
After three kills, he released Chahal and just as Moeen was trying to take down the game, he met Hardik Pandya, who helped him get a breakthrough.
Summary points: India: 170 for 8 out of 20 appearances (Ravindra Jadeja 46 not out, Rohit Sharma 31; Chris Jordan 4/27, Richard Gleeson 3/15).
England: 121 wins in 17 rounds (Moeen Ali 35; David Willey 33; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3/15, Jasearch Bumrah 2/10, Yuzvendra Chahal 2/10).
