IND vs NZ 4th T20I: The fourth T20 match played between India and New Zealand at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam was disappointing for Team India. The Indian team, which had already taken the lead in the five-match series, had to face a crushing defeat of 50 runs in this match. This proved to be New Zealand’s first win in this series, which surprised even the Indian fans. There was not just one, but many big reasons behind this defeat. Let us know about those 5 players, whose poor performance cost India dearly.
Sanju Samson not trustworthy again
Big innings were expected from Sanju Samson in this series, but he could not prove himself even in the fourth T20. He scored 24 runs in 15 balls, but could not give the responsible innings that the team needed. Sanju’s early dismissal under the pressure of run chase increased India’s problems.
Failure of Captain Suryakumar Yadav
After opener Abhishek Sharma was out on the very first ball, captain Suryakumar Yadav was expected to take over the innings. However, he too walked away after scoring 8 runs in just 8 balls. His returning to the pavilion so early brought huge pressure on the middle order.
Hardik Pandya’s lackluster performance
Experienced all-rounder Hardik Pandya is expected to deliver a match-winning innings in a big match. However, in this match he too could score only 2 runs in 5 balls. His getting out cheaply during the run chase proved to be a big blow for India.
Harshit Rana was the most expensive
This match was not at all memorable for Harshit Rana. In bowling, he gave away 54 runs in 4 overs and could not take any wicket. Even in batting, he returned to the pavilion after scoring 9 runs in 13 balls. His all-round performance could not help the team.
Ravi Bishnoi’s spin also did not work
Leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi also could not take wickets in the middle overs. 49 runs came in his spell and during this he was able to take only one wicket. Their bowling failed to stop New Zealand’s batsmen.
