Bad batting performance from the Indian team
Team India lost to Bangladesh by just six runs in the Super 4 stage’s penultimate match on Friday. Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Mohammed Siraj were all rested, and the team decided to bowl instead. They limited Bangladesh to 266 runs before being bowled out in the game’s final over. Shubman Gill (121) led India’s run chase for the majority of the innings as the team suffered a rare batsmanship setback in Colombo, where a backup batting order was unable to leave an impression.
Bad batting performance from the Indian team
The team management decided to give Tilak Varma a debut cap because some of their great batters were absent; however, the batter was struck out on 5 during the first powerplay. Suryakumar Yadav, who was given a chance in the format after a string of failures over the previous two series (against the West Indies and Australia), struggled once more in the middle, while KL Rahul also encountered difficulties.
Suryakumar scored 26 runs while facing 34 pitches. The batter tried to play a deliberate sweep shot but utterly missed the line, and Shakib Al Hasan trapped him to deal India further damage in the game. Matthew Hayden, a former Australia opener, offered support to the Indian batter as he mentioned his personal troubles as a young player for Australia. After yet another failure, Suryakumar received harsh criticism from supporters.
“I completely comprehend the mindset. because I sat without playing a game for Australia for seven years. There are times when you play really well for your state, and in Suryakumar Yadav’s case, his strike rate in first-class and IPL cricket is 170 or higher. In ODIs, he hasn’t yet figured out or decoded what his game will be, according to Hayden, who was speaking on the post-match show on Star Sports.
