After making a clean sweep of Bangladesh in the Test series, Team India has started the T20 series with a spectacular win. When the Indian team registered a resounding victory over Bangladesh in the first T20 match, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali praised Team India. Basit Ali also wondered what happened to the Bangladesh team which had registered a historic Test series win in Pakistan before coming to India.

Basit said, “Is this the same Bangladesh team which defeated Pakistan (2-0)? You must have seen in the Test matches (against India). They lost the first match and then lost almost in two days, even the rain could not save them.” He said that India has changed cricket. The T20I retirement of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja has left a vacancy in the playing eleven.

Basit Ali praised the players of Team India

Basit Ali said that this is not the Indian team but IPL 11. He said that despite the absence of star players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Ravi Bishnoi, Shreyas Iyer, Siraj, the performance shown by Team India is praiseworthy. Also, the former Pakistan player praised captain Suryakumar and coach Gambhir for supporting Hardik Pandya and Nitish Reddy. Also called Mayank Yadav the next star of India.

Basit Ali said that Mayank Yadav should be taken on Australia tour for the Test series. He said that when the quartet of Bumrah, Siraj, Shami and Mayank bowl stormily, Australia will understand what fast bowling is.

It is noteworthy that, two players made their debut for India in this match. Fast bowler Mayank Yadav and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy played their first international matches. After bowling out Bangladesh for 127, India won by seven wickets in 11.5 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
