The Indian team is out of the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament. Team India had to face defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in the semi-final match played on Friday. In the Super Over, the Indian team lost both its wickets without scoring any runs, after which Bangladesh won due to a wide ball bowled by Suyyash Sharma. The decision of the Indian team is being heavily criticized that in-form batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi was not sent in the Super Over. Captain Jitesh Sharma himself has given a big statement on this.

Why didn’t Vaibhav send Suryavanshi?

Captain Jitesh Sharma said in the post match presentation ceremony, “In our team, Vaibhav and Priyansh are masters of powerplay, but Ashutosh Sharma and Ramandeep Singh have the experience of hitting big hits in the death overs. The line-up of the super over was the team’s decision, on which the final decision was taken by me.”

The captain took responsibility for the defeat

Taking responsibility for the defeat of the Indian team, Jitesh Sharma said, “It was a good match, we learned a lot. Being a senior player of the team, I take responsibility for the defeat. I should have won the match. This is not a matter of victory or defeat, it is a matter of learning. No one knows, who knows, these young players may win the World Cup trophy for India someday. The level of their talent is touching the sky. We have to learn from the mistakes and move forward.”

The Indian team had scored 3 runs on the last ball and brought the match to super over. The score of both the teams was 194 runs. When it came to Super Over, the Indian team lost both the wickets without scoring any runs. In reply, Suyyash Sharma took the wicket of Bangladesh on the first ball, but he bowled the next ball wide.

Bangladesh A has made it to the final by defeating India A in the first semi-final of Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025. The bowling of this team captained by Jitesh Sharma was very poor, due to which Bangladesh was able to reach a big score of 194. Although the bright start of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya had made the match, till the end Team India was close to victory but then lagged behind. Despite this, the team was successful in equalizing the score, after which the match reached the super over.

Bangladesh won in super over

According to the rules, the team that bats first has to bat second in the super over. Due to this, India had to bat first, but the performance of Team India’s batsmen in the Super Over was shameful. Jitesh Sharma and Ashutosh Sharma were out without scoring any runs in the first 2 balls, thus Bangladesh had to score only 1 run to win. However, no batsman from Bangladesh could open his account in the super over.

So how did Bangladesh win?

Suyyash Sharma bowled the super over for India, he gave a great start by taking the wicket of Yasir Ali on the first ball. After this, captain Akbar Ali came on the field, but Suyyash bowled the next ball wide. In this way, no Bangladeshi player’s account was opened and Bangladesh also won.

What was Team India’s biggest mistake?

If we look at the biggest mistake of Team India in the semi-final defeat at the hands of Bangladesh, then it was the two overs bowled by Vaishakh Vijay Kumar and Naman Dhir. Naman bowled the 19th over, in which he gave away 28 runs. Vaishakh bowled the last over, in which 22 runs were lost. Due to this, Bangladesh, which was on the score of 144 after 18 overs, was able to reach the total of 194.

While chasing the target, Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 38 runs in 15 balls, in which he hit 4 sixes and 2 fours. He went after doing his work, after this Priyansh Arya also batted well. He scored 44 runs in 23 balls with the help of 3 sixes and 4 fours. Jitesh Sharma scored 33 runs in 23 balls and Nehal Wadhera scored unbeaten 32 runs in 29 balls, although they could not lead the team to victory. India needed 4 runs to win on the last ball, yet due to the mistake of Bangladesh’s wicket keeper, India got 3 runs and the match was tied.

In the semi-final match of Asia Cup Rising Stars, Bangladesh has given a target of 195 runs to Team India. Habibur Rahman scored 65 runs for Bangladesh, apart from him, SM Mahrub thrashed the Indian bowlers by playing a stormy inning of 48 runs in 18 balls. Yasir Ali also contributed 17 runs in 9 balls. Bangladesh scored 28 runs in the 19th over and 22 runs in the last over of their innings.

61 runs scored in last 3 overs

At one time even scoring 170 runs seemed difficult for the Bangladesh team. The team’s score in 17 overs was 133 runs, but the Indian bowlers were badly beaten in the last 3 overs.

India has made it to the semi-finals of Asia Cup Rising Stars. With this, Pakistani team also reached the semi-finals. Both the teams will face Group A teams in separate matches to get the ticket for the final on November 21.

Posting on social media, a user wrote, “This cannot happen, Indian players came to shake hands with Pakistani players but the Pakistan team left from there. India got to taste its own bitter medicine.”

What is the truth of the viral claim?

However, the viral claim and the truth are completely different. A video also surfaced on social media, in which Pakistani players are shaking hands with each other without any haste. Their support staff are also shaking hands, this clearly shows that no player or staff member from India went to shake hands with Pakistan, nor tried to. So this claim is completely wrong.
