India vs West Indies, 3rd T20I Highlights: Suryakumar Yadav Stars As India Beat West Indies To Take 2-1 Lead
India vs West Indies, 3rd T20I Highlights: Tuesday’s third T20 International saw India cruise to a seven-wicket victory against the West Indies thanks in large part to a magnificent 76 from Suryakumar Yadav, who displayed his amazing hitting prowess.
India now leads the five-match series 2-1, and the cricket caravan is traveling to Florida in the United States for the last two matches.
In defeating the 165-run target in 19 overs, India broke the Warner Park venue’s record of never having more than 147 chased in a T20I. Suryakumar contributed a 44-ball knock.
Shreyas Iyer (24 off 26 balls) was the ideal partner at the other end in a partnership of 86 because they made the target seem much easier than it actually was, especially on a surface that didn’t originally look to be batting-friendly.
After a brief dry spell following his first T20I century at Nottingham, Suryakumar was back in his element and this time playing an unexpected position as the series’ opener, which he has been doing.
In a 360-degree effort, he once more demonstrated his adaptability, talent, and hand-eye coordination. Eight fours and four sixes were in his knock.
Alzarri Joseph hit a picture-perfect lofted six over additional cover that will be difficult to forget since he stayed in place for a little period of time following the shot.
A sliced six, a draw over deep mid-wicket, a cross-batted punch over the mid-on fielder, and a ramp shot with speed and bounce were all produced by the same bowler.
He finished up his fifty against the frugal left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein with a slog sweep over square leg.
Despite Rohit Sharma, the captain, having to leave the game injured after pulling a back muscle, the score at the halfway point was 96 for no loss.
India had the match in hand by the time Suryakumar was out, with Rishabh Pant adding the closing touches.
Following Rohit’s decision to play after winning the toss, West Indies scored a decent 164 for 5. Until Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh’s relative inexperience, his bowling team maintained calm for the remainder of the innings.
Left-handed After a productive opening partnership of 57 with Brandon King, Kyle Mayers (73 off 50 balls) used his arsenal of eight fours and four sixes to punish the Indian assault. Then he and skipper Nicholas Pooran contributed 50 runs in 7.2 overs (22 off 23 balls).
Avesh Khan’s terrible performance (0/47 in 3 overs) jumped out like a bad flag, while the other bowlers bowled well without sticking out.
Arshdeep (1/33 in 4 overs) is being groomed as a death overs specialist because of his propensity to bowl wide yorkers, just as Dinesh Karthik is the team’s designated finisher in the batting order, with 20 balls still left for him.
However, in the high-stress setting of international cricket, the Punjabi boy is still a work in progress.
