India vs Sri Lanka: Irfan Pathan on where India fell short
India vs Sri Lanka: Irfan Pathan on where India fell short: Arshdeep Singh should have bowled the 19th over according to former India allrounder Irfan Pathan. Team India was defeated by Sri Lanka in their Super 4 encounter on Tuesday.
Tuesday, the Asia Cup Super 4 match was yet another disappointment for India as they lost to Sri Lanka in two straight games and again got dangerously close to being knocked out of the continental competition. India’s captain Rohit Sharma’s brilliant innings of 41-balls 72 was for nothing because Sri Lanka successfully chased down 174 with one ball remaining.
With Sri Lanka scoring 14 runs in the penultimate over against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, it’s virtually a win for them. It would be impossible for India to be in competition with Pakistan if they are able to defeat Afghanistan on Wednesday.
It was not an easy win for Sri Lanka, as they required 7 runs from their final over. But a support player noted that the 19th delivery should have been bowled by Arshdeep Singh, who is a left-arm fast bowler. The match ended in 19.5 overs.
There is no dew on the ground, as you can see. Bowling makes it simpler. Rohit Sharma never took advantage of the left-arm law alleys during the game on Deepak Hooda’s bowling. He started to advise mistakes, while he was on screen giving advice. On Star Sports, I said ‘Irfan Pathan’ when Rohit Sharma should have bowled Irfan Pathan.
Sri Lanka captured the top spot with this victory, while India is almost out and will depend on the results of their two Pakistani games.
Former India allrounder Irfan Pathan has criticized captain Rohit Sharma for his decision to bat first in the Super 4 match against Sri Lanka, saying that Arshdeep Singh should have bowled the 19th over according to former India all rounder Irfan Pathan.
