🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 M36: IND vs NED at Ahmedabad🏏 - Page 30

Suryakumar Yadav, India captain: Yeah, obviously, I think we wanted to bat first. We went on to score 190 and then coming out, there was a little bit of dew, a little bit challenging for the bowlers, but all in all, at the end of the day, very happy. (happy to bat first) Exactly, I mean, we might be in a similar situation on the next day also. We might get a slow start, but it's very important for all the batters to understand what the responsibility is, how the wicket is playing in the middle overs. And then, later on, we have enough firepower with Hardik, Shivam, Rinku, Axar or Washi, anyone to finish the game nicely. (on Dube) Against New Zealand, when he played at Vizag, he got another wonderful knock. He wanted to take that Man of the Match in the game, but couldn't finish it. But today, I think the way he batted in the middle overs, took pressure off everyone, and taking it to 190 on this wicket, I think it was a very good score. (ticked all boxes?) I mean, you can't say that we have ticked almost all the boxes, but even if you win, you learn something out of it. And we have learned a few areas. We'll go back to the rooms, have a day off tomorrow, and have a chat on that. (on so many bowling options) Sometimes it's a good headache to have. How many bowlers do I have in the middle? Abhishek Sharma coming in, then Hardik, Dube. So I have a lot of options in the middle. Whatever it is, on a given day, whatever the wicket demands, I think they can chip in with a few overs.

India continue their winning run. They still remain the side to beat in this competition. The Super 8s should be good fun with South Africa, West Indies and Zimbabwe in their group. Meanwhile for Netherlands more lessons and learnings for them. They will use this experience and hopefully get better. Time to end our coverage here. We have another triple-header tomorrow. We are done with one today.

Dube is another beast this WC.

Hope yeh performance IPL mein bhi continue rahe. 🤞

Dude literally used his feet and who thought, but he even won the fielding medal that the Indian fielding coach presents.

Bro is actually performing as a perfect all rounder, performing from bat, ball and also while fielding.

Joh bhi kaho Abhishek is privileged.

Nit questioning his talent as we all know, he is freaking amazing but

Kisi aur player ne itne saare ducks kiye hote toh gaaliyaan padti. Specially Gill, Rutu and Samson.

But why ? People have criticised VK so much when he wasn't in form. Abhishek ke liye yeh partiality kyun ? What use is that talent if it's not helping your country ? Sanju, Ritu, Gill, every Tom, Dick and Harry is talented. That's why they get to play. But on a given day if they aren't performing -- it's of no use. If this was one time, phir bhi samajh aati hai. This is unfair to that someone who performs consistently.

Even Tilak hasn't performed well.

Due to him and SKY, beech ke overs mein we just barely score runs.

Just hoping that they are saving their performance for Super 8 🤞

India make it four in four! Not a perfect performance, but one that gets the job done. For all the talk of them being strong favourites coming into the tournament, Suryakumar Yadav's side hasn't quite hit top gear yet, but they continue to find ways to win. They will know there is plenty to improve on in different aspects of their game. The Netherlands fought hard until the very end while chasing, but never quite threatened to get over the line. They bowled well for large parts, only to lose their way at the death.

Super 8 spots locked in - Coming into Wednesday's triple-header, there was just one spot left up for grabs, and Pakistan sealed it with a convincing win over Namibia in Colombo. Earlier in the day in Delhi, South Africa brushed aside the UAE to make it four wins from four, while India followed suit to complete a perfect run through the group stage. The Super 8s should be good fun with South Africa, West Indies and Zimbabwe in their group.

Virat achieved so much before he became weak but abishek or gill havent achieved that much and are slipping when they are supposed to peak/anchor and hold the team..which is why people are jumping on them when they give such poor performance..

Yeah was thinking the same about tilak..also did you see someone or other are holding the team and everyone else are scoring minimal runs..ishaan vs pak, today dube vs netherlands while remaining everyone get out in 10 or 20 max..i dont know if i should worry or be happy atleast one is performing..

The coach and captain see if they r doing well n practice sessions. If India had lost then they would have tried to change the combination. Now they r winning and form may come n the next match.
