Ahmedabad. Indian cricket team captain Suryakumar Yadav is confident that Team India will make a strong comeback after the first defeat in the T20 World Cup and can make a place in the knockouts.
In the T20 World Cup Super-8 match, South Africa defeated India by 76 runs and broke its 12-match winning streak. This match played in Ahmedabad proved to be a big shock for India, because the team is now out to defend the title which it had won in Barbados (Bridgetown) in 2024.
What does the picture of the semi-finals say for Team India?
India will now have to win against Zimbabwe and West Indies in its remaining matches of Super-8. The next match will be played in Chennai and this match can decide the future path of India. Mathematics also says that even a win can open the way, provided South Africa maintains its winning streak.
What did Surya say after the match?
Suryakumar refused to panic after the defeat. He said that the team has to do only what it has been doing best. Good batting, consistent bowling and agile fielding. The captain said, the team will not compromise on its style of play and will stick to the same aggressive cricket. Chasing the target of 187 runs, India lost three wickets in the powerplay itself. The captain admitted that in a chase of 180+ runs, the match is not won in the powerplay, but it can definitely be lost there. After the initial setbacks, the team could not make even small partnerships, which led to run chase pressure. I have come.
The Indian captain clearly said that this defeat is a lesson, not a shock. The team will review the mistakes, but no major changes will be made out of panic. Team India is now in ‘reset mode’, the team’s goal is clear, a place in the semi-finals.
Abhishek’s continuous failure weighs heavy on Team India
Number-1 T20 batsman Abhishek Sharma once again failed to play a big innings and was out after scoring only 14 runs. His form is now becoming a matter of concern for the team management.
However, the real hero of South Africa’s victory was David Miller, who played a match-winning inning of 63 runs in 35 balls and became the ‘Player of the Match’. Miller said that this victory proves that India can be defeated and his team wants to go one step further this time.
