‘The pitch on which he scored runs was not easy’ Aakash Chopra on Surya Bhau’s strong innings in IND vs ENG semi-final
Suryakumar Yadav played an innings of 47 runs in 36 balls on the slow pitch. Surya Kumar Yadav (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has been seen praising Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant innings played against England in the T20 World Cup semi-final. Chopra says that the pitch on which he scored runs was not easy for batting. It is worth noting that the second semi-final match of the ongoing T20 World Cup was played yesterday on 27 June between India and England at Providence Stadium, Guyana. The Indian team won this match by 68 runs. However, while batting first in the match, at one point Team India was seen struggling to score runs, as after Virat Kohli (9), Rishabh Pant (4) also got out cheaply. But Suryakumar Yadav, who came to bat after this, along with Rohit Sharma, added 73 runs for the third wicket, taking Team India out of the difficult situation. In the match, Surya played an innings of 47 runs in 36 balls on a tricky wicket for batting and played an important role in taking his team’s score to 171 runs. Surya hit 4 fours and 2 sixes during his innings. Aakash Chopra praised Suryakumar Yadav’s innings Let us tell you that through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel on Suryakumar Yadav’s amazing innings against England, Aakash Chopra said – Suryakumar Yadav also played a really good innings. It was an important innings, he hit (Chris) Jordan for a six and also played the spinners well. He could not complete his half-century, but his innings was good. Aakash further said- Rohit Sharma of India and Mumbai Indians was at one end, and Suryakumar Yadav is Rohit’s partner in franchise cricket. Here both of them batted brilliantly together and took the team to a safe position. Suryakumar Yadav did not have a good start to the tournament. He was struggling to score runs. He got out against Pakistan and was trolled. However, after that he scored half-centuries in two matches, in this match too he scored important runs and the pitches on which he scored runs are not so easy.
T20 World Cup 2024: Trinidad pitch created a ruckus, former veterans raised big questions calling it ‘dangerous’
The pitch was a bit dangerous. Some balls were passing around the shoulder, neck, chin height of the South African fast bowlers – Andy Flower T20 World Cup 2024, SA vs AFG (Photo Source: Getty Images) South Africa has reached the final by defeating Afghanistan by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2024. With this victory, the African team has created history, the team is going to play a World Cup final for the first time. But meanwhile there is a ruckus about the pitch of Trinidad. After the match, Afghanistan’s head coach Jonathan Trott had said that this was not the semi-final pitch. At the same time, South African captain Aiden Markram is happy not to play on this pitch again. The Trinidad pitch was very difficult to bat on, which the African bowlers took advantage of. And Afghanistan was all out for 56 runs in 11.5 overs. Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody and former Zimbabwean player Andy Flower have made a big statement raising questions on the Trinidad pitch. T20 World Cup 2024: Playing on the pitch was a tough challenge- Tom Moody Former Australian player Tom Moody says that there should be equal competition between ball and bat. He says that batsmen should not face a pitch where the conditions are completely against them. Tom Moody also said that it is not right for teams to score more than 200 in every match, balance is needed in every match. Talking on ESPNcricinfo, Tom Moody said, You want a fair contest between bat and ball and I am not advocating that we need pitches where you need 200+ runs. But you need consistent bounce, that is the most important thing. Any batsman will put his hand up and say, that is the most important thing. If you have a ball that is hitting the toe of your bat or a ball that you feel you are going to punch the same length with your gloves, it is a very tough challenge to counter. The pitch was a bit dangerous- Andy Flower Former Zimbabwe player Andy Flower says that the pitch had inconsistent bounce, which troubled the batsmen. Flower also said that the pitch also looked dangerous because the balls were passing around the shoulders, neck and chin of the batsmen, which could also cause injuries. Andy Flower said, As a batsman, you’re trying to predict where the ball will be. You’d like to get it somewhere in the middle of the bat at least. And on this pitch, it was almost impossible to do that on any consistent basis. It was a bit dangerous actually. Some of the balls were going past the shoulders, necks, chin height of the South African fast bowlers. And one of them even went past the head of Quinton de Kock, the keeper. And I was glad nobody got hurt.
‘We are happy not to play there again’: Aiden Markram amid continued talk about pitch after AFG vs SA semi-final
South Africa has reached the final of the ongoing T20 World Cup after defeating Afghanistan by 9 wickets South Africa vs Afghanistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) The first semi-final match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 was played today on 27 June between South Africa and Afghanistan at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad. Let us tell you that in this match, South Africa defeated Afghanistan by 9 wickets and qualified for the T20 World Cup final for the first time. However, this match was a low scoring one, which did not give the impression that it was a T20 World Cup semi-final match. Afghanistan, who won the toss and elected to bat first, were bowled out for just 56 runs in 11.5 overs. This is also the lowest score made by any team in a T20 World Cup semi-final. After this, when South Africa came out to bat, they were unable to score easily due to excessive seam movement in the powerplay. But the team achieved this target by losing 1 wicket in 8.5 overs. However, after the match ended, there is a constant discussion in the cricket world about the quality of the pitch. So now a big statement has come from South African captain Aiden Markram regarding this. Markram says that he is happy that now he will not have to play on this pitch again, because the final match will be played on June 29 at Providence Stadium, Guyana. Aiden Markram gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the match between South Africa and Afghanistan ended, during the post-match, Markram said- Broadly speaking, you all want entertainment in T20 cricket. Throughout the tournament, we got wickets that were quite challenging. The wicket of today’s match was also quite challenging. It is difficult to say that the wicket is not good because it cannot always be a batsman’s game, but I am happy that now we will not play here again.
