🏏India Vs WI - 2nd T20I at Warner Park at 10PM IST (Delayed)🏏 - Page 3

Is this happening in west indies?

138 all out india. Aaj Ind not winning

India lost by 5 wickets.

West Indies won by 5 wickets (with 4 balls remaining)

From being on 11 in 13 balls, Devon Thomas has broken the shackles and taken West Indies home from a potentially tricky position. Finishes on a 19-ball 31 and even hits the winning runs. But the key batter for West Indies in this chase was Brandon King. He scored more than double than any other batter across both sides, his 68 really ensuring West Indies went into the back end with wickets in hand. The series is now tied 1-1.

Some people will be confused why Rohit went with the inexperienced bowlers in the death overs, but if you look at the bigger picture, it may just make some sense. However, losing (and winning) are both habits so it is a Catch 22 situation. However, that India could last 19.2 overs while defending a score of 138 means that their bowlers did a solid job. Jadeja was tidy, Ashwin was wily (albeit a tad expensive), Hardik continues to impress with his control and Arshdeep grows in stature with every outing.

Losing captain Rohit Sharma is here. His assessment: "It was not enough runs on the board for us. We didn't bat well. Pitch was playing quite nicely but we didn't apply ourselves. But that can happen. I have said again and again that when you are trying something as a batting group, it won't work out always. We will try to see our mistakes and look to correct them. (20th over from Avesh) It's all about giving opportunity. We know Bhuvneshwar, what he brings to the table, but if you don't give opportunity to Avesh or Arshdeep you will never find out what it means to bowl at the death for India. They have done it in the IPL. Just one game, those guys don't need to panic. They need backing and opportunity. (Fighting effort) Proud of the team. When you are defending a target like that, it can end in 13-14 overs or you try to drag it to the last over. Guys kept fighting, it was important to take wickets. The planning we did, the guys came and executed. Happy with bowlers, but there are certain things in the batting we need to look at. I will again and again say that we will continue to bat in this fashion because we want to achieve something. One-off result, shouldn't panic. After one loss we won't change things around."

Congratulations to West Indies for the win. 🥳

After 4 losses in a row including ODIs something to feel happy about for WI.

Has the luggage finally arrived or did Indian team have to play with replaced cricket kit?🤔

Cheers..
