A fraction of Asia’s population was densely populated down under at the Melbourne Cricket ground. India vs Pakistan match has evolved from crushing early to cruising and crushing later. A pure mind game with a physical intent.
The momentum of high intensity games swing from six of a ball followed by a wicket the next ball. There was lot of physics on the field to get the maths right. Obviously, getting Maths right defines the winner. There is no time to relax for both players and audience. Few are the matches nowadays where audience leave early witnessing a one sided match.
Today, Singh became the King with the ball. The King was King with the bat. Virat’s headspace was lagging when compared to his skills. The evidence was in his words when he mentioned about the motivation from Hardik which fuelled his innings. Kohli took soundings (Popular in the UK) from Pandya. King is back in control. Can’t wait to see more.
Arshdeep did a redemption of Afridi’s effect of WC 2021. Rohit in 2021 and Babar in 2022 got our similarly and in both occasions the left hand bowler become the star. Rohit’s decision to give it to Arshdeep to open the bowling was an excellent move. Arshdeep lived up to Rohit’s emotional outburst earlier during National Anthem ceremony.
The T20 Cricket has become very competitive as any team can come back as long as they believe in themselves.
It was a fascinating win for India which can be cherished for long as they came back from dire straits to get over the line with Virat wrapping it up.
Congratulations Team India 🇮🇳 👏👏👏
