However, if we tell you that once the match was halted due to the sun, would you believe it? But for your information, let us tell you that this is absolutely true. The first ODI match played during India’s tour of New Zealand in 2019 was halted due to the sun. It is worth noting that the first match of that tour of India was played at McLean Park, Napier. Usually the pitches in a stadium are situated in the north-south direction, but in Napier the pitch is in the east-west direction, due to which the sunlight was falling directly in the eyes of the players in that match. After this, Indian team’s opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan complained to the umpire about this. Umpire Shaun Haig discussed this incident in an interview and said that the sun is directly in the eyes of the batsmen. Therefore, we have to consider the safety of the players and the umpires. Therefore, we have decided to postpone the game until the situation improves. This was the first time in my 14 years that I have seen something like this happen on a cricket field. The good news is that we have 30 minutes of extra time. We are hoping to be back in 30 minutes and it will still be a 50-over game. India won the match by 8 wickets On the other hand, if we tell you about the situation of that match, India won the match by 8 wickets. Due to rain, the match was reduced to 38-38 overs. Batting first, New Zealand had set a target of 157 runs for India to win, which India achieved by losing 2 wickets. Dhawan remained unbeaten by scoring 75* runs in the match.

Chopra says that the Indian bowlers were not cruel in this match. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement After the end of the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel- We were not able to finish Sri Lanka’s innings in bowling. There seemed to be a sense of complacency that we would get wickets anyway and if we did not get wickets, we would chase the runs anyway. There was a lack of brutality in bowling. Chopra further said- I think we outplay the opponent and play spin very well on flat wickets. Our bowlers also bowl better than them on such pitches. However, when the pitches start turning, our batting becomes normal and the difference in bowling quality reduces. So, this is a problem they have to solve.
