Not only this, he also said that the West Indies team is fully prepared for the upcoming matches and it will not be so easy for any team to defeat them at home. Let us tell you, the performance of the West Indies team in this important tournament has been very good so far and they have confirmed their place in the Super 8. West Indies has played three matches in this important tournament so far and has won all three. Now they have to play their last group stage match against Afghanistan in St. Lucia. After this, the team will have to play its first match in the Super 8 on June 19 against England at the same venue. Rovman Powell said, ‘I think there is always pressure when you are playing the World Cup at home. But the question always remains how much pressure can you bear as a player personally. When I took over the captaincy 12 to 14 months ago, our ranking was 8th or 9th. It feels really good to see yourself at number three. Behind this is the hard work of all the players who together have performed well for their team. I have never played in the number three ranked West Indies team. I hope that this time something special happens for us and we keep increasing our ranking like this. There are many aggressive players in our team who can leave their mark in this tournament. In the upcoming match, we will perform in the same way as we have done so far. West Indies captain put forth his opinion on the St. Lucia pitch Rovman Powell further said, ‘St Lucia is a place where batsmen like to bat. But bowlers have also bowled very good spells on this ground. Especially the fast bowlers. However, if it is said who gets more profit, then I would say that there is 60% more help for the batsmen here while 40% is for the bowlers.’ The best thing for West Indies is that all their bowlers are in very good form at the moment and they will definitely want to leave their mark in the upcoming match against Afghanistan. All the teams will also know very well that it is not so easy to defeat West Indies in their own home. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

“Sunil Narayan was deliberately targeted” Rovman Powell told what happened to Butler during the match
Powell made an important partnership of 57 runs with Buttler in just 27 balls when Buttler was finding it difficult to hit the big shots. Powell said that he had told his partner not to worry because he would hit big shots and if Powell was out, Buttler could comfortably finish the match. When 62 runs were needed from the last four overs, KKR captain Shreyas Iyer brought in Sunil Narine to bowl the last over of his spell. Before this over, he had given only 14 runs in the three overs bowled and had taken one wicket. Powell took command in place of Butler and hit a four and then two sky-high sixes. However, he dismissed Powell on his fifth ball but by then he had given the necessary momentum to Rajasthan’s innings. Powell’s thinking on the plan to attack Sunil Narayan was that he wanted the rest of RR’s batsmen to get the morale that if he can hit the shot then anyone can do it. Powell said in the press conference after the match- “In T20 cricket, not many people get credit for playing impressive innings. There is a lot of technology available that gives data about the innings played by people, but there is not a lot of data and technology available to understand that impact. I have tried this by attacking Sunil. I made my main bowler and people believe that if Sunil can score runs, anyone can score runs.” “I was there with Jose and I told him, you get some rest. I will try to hit some sixes. Because he was trying to hit the ball but was not connecting with it. So, I tried to hit sixes and if I get out, you take the responsibility of trying to hit big sixes.”

So due to Butler not playing, West Indies T20 captain Rovman Powell got a chance to play. While chasing 148 runs from Punjab in the match, Powell made a brilliant partnership of 21 runs in 7 balls with Shimron Hetmyer and himself scored 11 runs in 5 balls. So in the end, Rajasthan was successful in winning the match on the basis of Hetmyer’s brilliant innings of 27 runs in 10 balls. On the other hand, after the end of the match between the two teams, Rovman Powell has given a big update regarding the return of Jos Buttler. Don’t know when Jos Buttler will return to the field Let us tell you that after the end of the match between Punjab and Rajasthan, during the post match, Rovman Powell said about the return of Jos Buttler – I think the medical team is doing a very good job with him (Jos Buttler). He will recover and come back in a day or two, it is good for us that we have only one match in three or four days. So, he will be back before this match. I am also a good player, if I am not able to play a match then it means the team is performing well. Whenever I get a chance, I will perform my best.
