Bangladesh registered a thrilling victory over India in the semi-final match of Asia Cup Rising Stars. Bangladesh won this match which lasted till Super Over with the help of wide ball. In fact, in the Super Over, India had lost both its wickets without scoring any runs. Bangladesh had to score only one run to win the super over. Suyyash Sharma bowled a wide ball, due to which one run was added to Bangladesh’s scorecard and they entered the final. But what was the real reason for this shameful defeat of India?
India lost because of this mistake
By scoring 3 runs on the last ball of the innings, the Indian batsmen somehow took the match to the super-over. The Indian team had a golden opportunity to reach the finals, but the Indian management made a big mistake in the Super Over.
The Indian team sent Jitesh Sharma and Ramandeep Singh to bat. On one hand, Jitesh Sharma has not started batting since the first match of the tournament, while Ramandeep Singh is also not known for hitting very big shots.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi was not sent
When the Super Over situation came, the Indian team should have started with both its regular opening batsmen Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya. Suryavanshi batted at a stormy strike rate of around 244 in the entire tournament. In the semi-final match against Bangladesh, he started swinging the bat on the very first ball and hit 2 sixes in the first 3 balls of the innings. When the team needed Suryavanshi the most, he was not brought to bat.
On the other hand, Priyansh Arya had played an inning of 44 runs in 23 balls in this match. Priyansh, who hit 4 fours and 3 sixes, also seemed to be in good touch. Ignoring all this, the management started the super over with Jitesh Sharma and Ramandeep Singh. This can be called a big ‘blunder’ of the Indian team.
