4 Jul
Summary
- Ravi Bishnoi's costly over shifted momentum in the death overs.
- Two consecutive no-balls in the 17th over proved detrimental to India.
- Young debutant Vaibhav Sooryavanshi impressed with fearless attitude.
India's T20I captain Shreyas Iyer identified Ravi Bishnoi's expensive 17th over as the turning point in their recent T20I defeat. England required 49 runs from 24 balls with four wickets remaining when Bishnoi's two no-balls, conceded for free hits, were hit for sixes, altering the match's trajectory.
Bishnoi's spell of 4-0-60-0 played a significant role in India's four-wicket loss. Iyer noted the momentum shift in the death overs, acknowledging that the consecutive no-balls were costly. He emphasized that bowlers must learn from such experiences.
Despite the bowling setbacks, Iyer lauded 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on his debut, commending his fearless attitude and sensational approach to the game. The young debutant's performance in the nets also offered lessons in fearless cricket.
