‘2-3% chance of winning’ Rohit and Surya remembering India’s victory over Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022
Recalling one of the best matches in the history of T20 cricket, Rohit and Surya spoke from the heart. IND vs PAK (Image Credit- Twitter Captain Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav were seen giving a big reaction to India’s memorable win against Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Let us tell you that this memorable match between the two teams was played on October 23, 2022, which was one of the best matches in the history of T20 cricket. India was playing the match against arch-rival Pakistan in front of more than 90 thousand spectators at MCG. Batting first, Pakistan set a target of 160 runs for India to win. However, when India set out to chase this target, its start was nothing special. At one time, India had lost four wickets for 31 runs, and when Suryakumar Yadav was out after scoring 15 runs in the match, WinPredictor was giving 2-3% chances of India’s victory. But after this there was a brilliant partnership of 113 runs for the 5th wicket between Virat Kohli (82*) and Hardik Pandya. Pandya provided good support to Kohli by scoring 40 runs in 37 balls and Virat played the best innings of his T20 career and gave India a memorable victory by 4 wickets. Rohit-Surya reacted On the other hand, now remembering this brilliant victory of India, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have given a big reaction. According to the video shared by ICC, Surya, remembering this victory, said – When we were on four runs, I was sitting in the dugout. I looked at the screen and the win predictor showed only 2 to 3 percent and then Virat and Hardik had a very good partnership there. It changed everything. Rohit said- 90,000 people in the stadium, we were in a little trouble with our batting. We lost some wickets early. I was a very nervous person, I was sitting inside the changing room, I was not watching it live because obviously, when the last over was being bowled, it was very tense. But, I came out and enjoyed that moment also.

“I will not think too much about Indian spinners” – DK said about Team India’s spinners after the Bengaluru Test.
IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik has backed Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja to make a comeback in the second Test against New Zealand in Pune after a disappointing performance in the first Test in Bengaluru. In the first test, India could not defend the target of 107 runs and in the end they had to face defeat by 8 wickets. In the Bengaluru Test, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja together took seven wickets, but during this period the economy rate of all three was the biggest cause of concern. In the first innings, Ashwin and Jadeja gave runs at an economy rate between 5-6, while in the second innings, Kuldeep Yadav gave runs at an economy run rate of 8.7. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement regarding the spinners of Team India. Seeing the brutality with which Kiwi batsmen thrashed Team India’s spin attack in Bengaluru, the tension of Team India’s fans seems to be increasing. Whereas former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has given some surprising statements regarding Indian spinners. After Team India’s defeat against New Zealand in Bengaluru, former cricketer Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz, ‘I will not think too much about the Indian spinners, it was not a good Test match for them as a unit. Be it Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja. It was good because you want such players to get pinched, because whenever they come back, they come back very strongly. I think the conditions in Pune will be better for these three and you will see Ashwin and Jadeja performing well in Pune. Let us tell you that the second match of the Test series between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune from 24th October.
IND vs NZ: Five reasons which became the reason for Team India’s defeat, one decision of Rohit Sharma ruined the game
New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets in the first test match. IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, had to face a shameful defeat by 8 wickets in the Test played against New Zealand in Bengaluru. With this victory, New Zealand took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series. In this match, India set a target of only 107 runs for the Kiwi team, which they easily achieved on the fifth day at the loss of 2 wickets. Now the question in everyone’s mind is that where did Team India go wrong in this match and why did it lose this match, let us tell you. IND vs NZ 5 Reasons Why India Lost First Test Match (Five reasons why Team India lost the first test against New Zealand) 1. Rohit Sharma’s wrong decision on the toss. When the toss of this match took place on the second day of the Test match, there were overcast conditions. Not a single ball was bowled on the first day due to rain. At the same time, when the game started on the second day, Rohit took a wrong decision after winning the toss. India chose to bat and the entire team was bundled out for only 46 runs. Five players including Virat Kohli could not even open their accounts. Rohit himself later admitted that there was a mistake in taking the decision after the toss. Rohit said after the first day’s play, “As a captain, I am sad to see the score of 46 runs because the decision to bat first was mine. But one or two bad decisions are made every year.” 2. Conway’s innings proved costly for India After India were bowled out cheaply in the first innings, New Zealand opener Devon Conway gave trouble to the Indian bowlers. Conway played an inning of 91 runs in 105 balls with the help of 11 fours and 3 sixes. He made a partnership of 67 runs for the first wicket with captain Tom Latham (15). Conway then took over the innings with Will Young (33). Both of them added 75 runs for the second wicket and put pressure on the host team. 3. Racine-Saudi partnership Apart from Conway, Rachin Ravindra (134 in 157 balls), who came to bat at number four, troubled the Indian bowlers. Rachin made a 39-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell (18) for the fourth wicket. However, when Tim Southee (65) came to support Rachin, both of them made a partnership of 137 runs for the eighth wicket. Thanks to the partnership of both, New Zealand scored 402 in the first innings. If India had managed to break this partnership early, then perhaps New Zealand’s innings could have been reduced to below 300 and perhaps the result of the match could have been different. 4. Rahul and Jadeja failed in the second innings also In the second innings of the test match, India scored 462 runs on the board due to the excellent batting of Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant…

A video of Team India batsman Virat Kohli went viral in the middle of the match. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Team India did make a comeback in the Bengaluru Test match against New Zealand, but even after that, Rohit’s army gave very less target to the Kiwi team. After which the result of the match went in favor of the visiting team, but on the last day of the test match, a video of Kohli surfaced and during this he was seen asking for help from the fans. The first innings proved costly for Team India. Yes, the batting of the first innings was very heavy for Team India, and this innings was also the main reason for the defeat for the team. The Indian team was out on the score of 46 runs in the first innings, after which the game changed and the team started the series with a defeat. On the other hand, after many years, the New Zealand team has won the Test match on Indian soil, which is a big record in itself.

If the team is supporting you then you will not drop: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘It is really a great thing to play big shots continuously but if a player is getting out then you also need a backup. If the player is out then he will be dropped. But if the team is supporting you then you will not drop and that is a very good thing. It looks like this Youngistan is trying to play a different game. Till now we have played against two weak teams Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. However, the team has batted consistently explosively in the first 6 and 10 overs, which is a big thing. I am happy that all the players are playing aggressive cricket and making important contributions to the victory of their team.
