South Africa has defeated India by 51 runs in the second T20 match. With this, South Africa is tied at one point in the five-match T20 series. In this match, South Africa, batting first, had scored 213 runs, in response, Team India could score only 162 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. Tilak Verma played an inning of 62 runs, but could not ensure the victory of the Indian team.
Team India, which came to chase the target of 214 runs, did not have a good start at all, as Shubman Gill became the victim of a golden duck. The poor form of captain Suryakumar Yadav continues, who returned to the pavilion after scoring 5 runs. Abhishek Sharma was dismissed by Marco Jansen by throwing a tremendous ball, which Abhishek could not understand. 17 runs came off Abhishek’s bat.
What would Tilak Verma do alone?
What would Tilak Verma do alone? Wickets kept falling from one end, but Tilak Verma stood like a wall in front of the South African bowlers. He played an inning of 62 runs in 34 balls. Tilak remained in the field till the last over. Hardik Pandya scored 20 runs and Jitesh Sharma scored 27 runs.
Big mistake from coach Gambhir
Only the top order is confirmed, the order of the rest of the batsmen is not confirmed. This policy of coach Gautam Gambhir seems to be overshadowing Team India’s World Cup plans. Number 3 in the T20 team was till now revolving around Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma. But in the second T20, Axar Patel was sent to the third position. Patel scored 21 runs in 21 balls at a time when Team India needed to bat in a stormy manner. As a result, the required run rate for the Indian team kept increasing.
Shivam Dubey, who plays the role of finisher in the team, is adept at hitting big sixes by batting at the fifth and sixth positions. But Akshar Patel was sent up, due to which the order of the entire batting line-up seemed disturbed. A batsman like Shivam Dubey came at number, who was out after scoring only 1 run.
