Rohit’s team did not let the start in the Asia Cup to be shaky
Sports Desk /
10 months and 5 days ago, India had a shaky start to the World Cup, losing to Pakistan by 10 wickets at the Dubai International Stadium. But Rohit’s team did not let that happen in the Asia Cup.
The Man in Blue beat Pakistan by 5 wickets at the same stadium. Although Virat Kohli had to sweat to get the win. Had to wait till the last over.
According to analysts, if Hardik Pandya and Jadeja did not bat brilliantly in the end, the result might have turned around.
All-rounder Jadeja made a partnership of 52 runs from 32 balls for the fifth wicket with Hardik Pandya (33). And in their match-winning pair, India has also paid for that loss in the World Cup.
Jadeja still has a regret. He could not leave the field after winning the match. Mohammad Nawaz bowled the first ball of the last over. With two balls to spare, Pandya took India to victory with a six.
“We wanted to play to the end,” Jadeja said after the sweet revenge win against Pakistan. So it happened. I wanted to finish the match and leave the field with a win. But I couldn’t. A left-handed batsman against a left-handed spinner. But Pandya has succeeded. He played really well. He tells me he will play his normal game. I am happy that he left the field with the team winning. I am more than happy that India won with his sixes. We have started the tournament with a win, it is very happy for us.
The Indian all-rounder also praised Pakistan. He said, ‘Pakistan’s bowling attack is very good. Their fast bowlers do not give up easily. (They continue to fight till the end).
