Australia needed 40 runs from three overs when Harshal Patel came in to bowl the 18th over. Matthew Wade and Tim David scored 22 runs off Harshal’s final over, tipping the match in the visitors’ favor.
Harshal appeared jaded in his comeback game, allowing 49 runs in four overs.
Thoda injury se aaya hai, itna toh benefit banta hai, Suryakumar Yadav said, cut him some slack, he’s coming back after the injury.
Harshal’s slower ball and variations are difficult to read. Whatever I’ve faced him in the nets, I can assure you that he is not at all predictable. He is extremely deceptive. He’s been working very hard on his bowling, he explained.
Following the loss in the first game, all-rounder Hardik Pandya stated that the team management did not want to rush Jasprit Bumrah back from injury.
India’s batting strategy:
India’s aggressive approach paid off in the series opener, as India posted a 208-run total despite early dismissals of top order batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Everyone is playing their role; they are aware of their responsibilities and what they want to do in different situations, said Suryakumar Yadav, who hit a 25-ball 46 on Tuesday.
Openers understand their role extremely well. Then it comes to the middle order of how we set up the game, and the finishers did an excellent job. Everything went as planned, and we will try to do the same thing again in the future, he added.
