After that, 6 runs were needed in the last over. At that time, captain Suryakumar Yadav himself bowled. He gave only 5 runs and took two wickets. The match went into the super over. Sri Lanka could not do anything special in this and scored just 2 runs. At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav hit a four on the very first ball and won the super over.
After the match, Suryakumar Yadav explained the reason behind giving the 19th over to Rinku Singh
Sri Lanka needed 12 balls and only 9 runs to win against India. This included an over left for India’s most important bowler Mohammed Siraj who bowled the opening over. Still, Suryakumar decided to bowl Rinku Singh in the 19th over and this was a very crucial over that could change the course of the match.
Actually Suryakumar took this risk. If he had lost the match, all the blame would have fallen on Suryakumar. But it has been seen in the last several matches that Suryakumar Yadav, who has reached this stage after so much struggle, is not one to give up. Suryakumar handed the ball to Rinku and he also justified this decision.
