The performance of the Indian team under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer has been consistently disappointing. The team has lost five consecutive T20 matches and has also lost the second T20 series. In such a situation, the last match will be a big opportunity for the players to regain their rhythm and confidence. In this series, the clash between young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi and England fast bowler Joffra Archer has also remained a topic of discussion. Both have played together for Rajasthan Royals in IPL, where Vaibhav was seen dominating Archer many times in the nets. However, the story has been different in international cricket.
Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali said in the ‘Beard Before Wicket’ podcast that he saw many such videos during the IPL in which Vaibhav was playing brilliant shots on Archer’s balls. But he believes that the pressure and level of international cricket is completely different. Moeen said that the way Archer has bowled in this series makes it clear that experienced bowlers prove themselves in different ways on the big stage. This is the first international T20 series for 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He has not been able to play big innings in the three matches played so far. He has played innings of 14, 13 and 15 runs. The special thing is that in these three matches, it was Joffra Archer who sent him to the pavilion twice. Vaibhav definitely scored 18 runs in 13 balls against Archer, but also lost his wicket twice.
Now all eyes will be on the last T20. India would like to avoid a clean sweep by winning this match, while England will try to create history by winning the series 5-0. Besides, this match can also have an impact on the ICC T20 team ranking, due to which the importance of the match has increased further.
