Southee to Rahane, out Pant Run Out!! Absolute shocker from India! A run out is always the worst mode of dismissal in Test cricket and when it is through a bad mix up as this one, makes things all the more worse. This was tapped gently towards the off-side by Rahane and he just kept on running, despite Pant’s […]
Chahal to Henry Nicholls, out Lbw!! Chahal may leak a few runs but has the knack of picking up important wickets. Here’s an instance and Nicholls dug a grave for himself opting to sweep a delivery that’s too full. Wasn’t in a great position after getting low and tried to broom it in front of middle. The […]
Bumrah to Ross Taylor, out Henry Nicholls Run Out!! Fantastic work from the Indian skipper, he knew it was out the moment he hit the stumps and roared a big ‘C’MON’ instantly. Taylor got beaten on the inside edge on the flick and he had to rush to the other end as Nicholls wanted to pinch a […]
Neesham to Rahul, SIX, you can’t complain much with the bowler for this one. Was indeed close to a yorker, but Rahul was so smart to switch sides and reverse-guided it over short third man. KL Rahul batted brilliantly in this first One Day International match against New Zealand. He scored unbeaten 88 runs off just […]
Navdeep Saini to Seifert, out Tom Bruce Run Out!! This is brilliant work from Rahul! There wasn’t anyone near the stumps to back up for Samson’s throw, so he himself raced forward to collect it and dived in front to whip off the bails. Tom Bruce was always going to be gone by yards, given the massive mix up […]
Ball 6: Southee to Rohit, 6 runs, Rohit, you freakinnn genius. He’s done it. India have clinched the Super Over and create history. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Southee’s yorker ain’t forthcoming. It’s full and in the arc, Rohit stays still and hammers it over long-off. Let me catch my breath, first. Nerve shredding tension, limitless euphoria. […]
Bennett to Rohit, SIX, beautifully played, fraction too short from Bennett, Rohit is quick to swivel across and pulls it with disdain – high and over backward square leg for a maximum. Bennett to Rohit, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Rohit, on a good length and well outside off, right there for the lofted drive – Rohit leans into […]
Bumrah to Ross Taylor, 1 run, dropped! Bumrah cannot believe it. He has his hands on his mouth. The Indian skipper takes some terrific catches but also puts down sitters. Taylor connects with the slower delivery this time. But miscues it horribly near long-on, Kohli runs in and has an eternity to take the catch but […]
SN Thakur to Munro, leg byes, 1 run, there is a collision between Munro and Thakur. And Thaukur takes a tumble. It was a back of a length delivery and was down the leg-side, Munro misses the heave. It raps him on the body and deflects away to the off-side. Guptill was charging for a […]
Shami to Cummins, out Bowled!! Shami getting those yorkers spot with that brilliantly upright seam is a treat to watch. Cummins can’t get the bat down and it sneaks to take out the off stump. Successive golden ducks for Cummo. Here is the clip of that video:
