Chahal to Liton Das, no ball, bizarre drama! Das survives! Rohit isn’t amused but this is one of those freak events that you get to see in cricket. Das had charged down for the slog and got beaten totally by the turn on the leg break. Was the easiest of stumpings for Pant, who in his excitement, seemed to […]
Chahal to Rahim, out Caught by Krunal Pandya!! Gone. The star of the previous game for Bangladesh departs early. Chahal has been brilliant and gets his reward. This was looped up teasingly, Rahim went for his favourite sweep shot. Couldn’t adjust for the bounce and went airly towards deep square leg. Krunal, who dropped a catch in […]
Chahal to Liton Das, out Liton Das Run Out!! Pant redeems himself! It was a basic blunder from him in Chahal’s previous over that saved Das but the opener is sent backing this time. Not sure what he was thinking here. Got cut into half by this googly and was struck on the thigh pad and he just set […]
India have won the toss and have opted to field Rohit: We’re gonna field first. Looks a good pitch. Rajkot has always been a good pitch. I see some tracks there but this has always been a good surface. I also hear that there might be some dew later on, and that should help chasing. I’m […]
Agar to Babar Azam, 1 run, floated up and Azam is quick to race down, drills it to long-on and he wanted two, Ali sends him back. Due to that, Babar Azam not happy with his own teammate. Meanwhile, Australia won by 7 wickets and Steven Smith declared as player of the match. Here is […]
Ishan Porel to Parthiv Patel, out Caught by Karthik!! No messing this time. Same bowler and again DK wanted it, sticks his left glove and takes a beauty. Second time lucky, eh? It was full and shaped away after pitching. Patel is squared up and feeds an outside edge behind. Both openers back in the hut now […]
Diwesh Pathania to Gowtham, no ball, FOUR, Gowtham is exactly the kind of batsman you want at this stage and he starts his innings with a boundary. Diwesh Pathania attempts a fancy back of the hand slower delivery, gets it all wrong as it ends up being a full-toss above the waist height. Gowtham smashes it wide […]
Chahal to Rahim, FOUR, tossed up leg-break on off, a slog-sweep against the spin, right into Krunal’s cups and he’s dropped it! Through to the fence, and that’s insult to injury! Krunal wishes the ground would swallow him up, though the air is doing a fine job at the moment. Bangladesh record their first ever T20I win […]
Chahal to Soumya Sarkar, no run, India have lost their review. They should have taken it earlier in the over but they didn’t and now have lost one to an appeal that did not sound confident from the start. The slider which goes on with the angle, Sarkar shuffles and is beaten on the inside edge […]
Chahal to Naim, out Caught by Dhawan!! Chahal brought on and he strikes in his first over. Much needed breakthrough for India. The Kotla erupts as Dhawan does the thigh-five after completing the catch. The wrong ‘un and Naim goes for the slog sweep against the turn, the top-edge skies up towards long-on and Dhawan takes a […]
