Alas India Cricket Team Is In The Whirlpool To Have Trapped In Ifs and Buts !
Virat Kohali And Co. Got Grand Rhythm But Alas Much Delayed !
◆ Ifs And Buts For India Now ◆
(Indwia’s Big Win Over Minnow Afganistan in the group match with a huge margin on date 3rd November,2021 in the ICC World Cup T20,2021 )
Yeah after two bitter and shameful defeats in the group league matches against Pakistan and New Zealand India cricket team has shown its big class against the team Afganistan. Yes after losing the toss Afaganistan put India into the bat first and India piled up a huge score and set up a Himalayan target of 210 run to chase in the 20 Overs for the rival but minnow Afganistan yeah was almost unachievable for team like Afganistan. And such thing happened and Afganistan suffered a huge defeat against India. Yeah the loss of 66 run is indeed a big defeat in the T20 concerned . Yeah Rohit Sharma -KL Rahul ‘s duo remained the architectures of this thumping victory . Yeah both KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma made 69 in just 48 deliveries with 6 fours and 2 sixes to have marvelous strike rate of 143.75 and 74 in only 47 balls by hitting 8 fabulous boundaries and 3 huge handsome over boundaries to keep 157.45 strike rate respectively . And after departure of both the openers yeah there was change in the batting order and promoted Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya and both played in very attacking mood all freely due to compact partnership of KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma . Yeah both played with strike rate of 207.69 run , 269.23 run respectively .And then Indian bowlers restricted Afganistan only on
144/7 under alloted quota 20 overs . The team Afganistan had to chase 210 runs’ target to have 10.50 per over but alas they could reach 144 only. Team Afaganistan Captain Nabi made well 35 run on facing 32 balls by hitting 2 fours and 1 six by keeping 109.38 SR and Karim Janat who played so aggressively scored 42 run only on 22 deliveries with 3 fours and 2 sixes to have 190.91 SR but for the chase it was not enough because other batsmen couldn’t endeavor the big pressure against the tight bowling of the indian bowlers . Yeah Ravi Chandran Ashwin bowled so tightly with feared effect that he took two important wickets and in his 4 overs quota gave away only 14 runs with so thrifty average of 3.5 per over .
And can say that india have made its good comeback but India’s situation is very critical and very much in Ifs and Buts because the semi final stage is only possible if New Zealand is defeated by the team New Zealand. In the group Pakistan have already made its place into the final berth in the group A and there is combat between New Zealand and India if New Zealand would lose out its match against Afganistan. If New Zealand win against Afaganistan then the game is over for the team India and Virat Kohali and Co. have to return India bare handedly . If we compare this win of india against Afganistan to the win of Pakistan against Afaganistan than indeed India’s win is more effective and huge because Afganistan would have carried the match up to 20 th over and at the 19 th over it would seem impossible because the team Pakistan needed 24 run in just 12 balls yeah in the two overs but in the 19 th overs the Pak batsman Asif Ali showed great power hitting and hit out four sixes in the 19 th over and won the match for his team left 6 balls.And the match which was seeming tough for Pak at one stage ah ended in a sensational fashion Pak batsman Asif Ali hit out 4 sixes in the 19 th over and registered a great win against team Afganistan. It was the bowler
K Janat who was cracked by batsman Asif Ali
Asif Ali. Thus comparatively india’s win remained one sided against Afganistan while there was great combat between Pak and Afganistan cricketers and certain win of Afaganistan was snatched out from the jaw of Afganistan by Pakistan and the hero of that thrilling victory was Asif Ali . But Pakistan have defeated india very commandingly yeah win by 10 wickets . Yeah Saeed Afridi who bold away two leading batsmen of india in his two consecutive beginning opening striking overs yeah Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul and turned away the match in the way of his team Pakistan and since then struggle and not recovers up to then and and set up very meagre target of 110 run and Pak batsmen got that target very easily . Ultimately being the man to have patriotism I do say alas india’s journey is dependent on others team lose and win and then the strike run rate of the group teams and so the possibilities are very diminish and dim of india to enter in the semifinals berth . But we the indians are still hopeful and expect some miracle . But we know miracles are rarest that happen but once in thousand year. Let see what is hidden in the lap of future .
