India Vs Sri 1st T20I : Hardik Pandya took risk, Team India won
New Delhi: India Vs Sri 1st T20I : Team India took a 1-0 lead in the series by defeating Sri Lanka by 2 runs in the first T20 match held yesterday Tuesday. Looking at the way India won this match, Hardik Pandya seems to have made a great captain. Seeing Akshar Patel in the last match, he took such a risk that worked for Team India.
In the last over, Sri Lanka needed 13 runs to win, Hardik’s over was also left. But he passed the ball to Akshar Patel. After that, all the experts and fans thought that this claim might backfire. But looking at the way Hardik Pandya took risks, it can be said that the captain’s molasses is coming inside Hardik.
In fact, the match was played at the Wankhede ground in Mumbai. You know there is a lot of dew here in winter. It is very difficult for a fast bowler to catch the ball. Such was the experience of Hardik’s captaincy that he abandoned the fast bowler and handed the ball to the spinner. Although it does not spin, the grip reduces the chances of getting white balls and no balls. This strategy worked for India. And India managed to win the thrilling match by 2 runs.
