Ind vs SA: After the defeat in the second T20, captain Suryakumar admitted his mistake, said – this is the process of learning
New Delhi. The Indian team led by Suryakumar Yadav had to face defeat by 51 runs in the second T20 match against South Africa. South Africa scored 213/4 at Mullanpur ground and bowled out India for 162 runs. India had a disappointing start while chasing the huge target. Vice-captain Shubman Gill was out in the first over without opening the account. Abhishek Sharma scored 17 runs in 8 balls while Akshar Patel scored 21 runs in 21 balls. At the same time, Suryakumar could score only 5 runs in four balls. India had lost four wickets for 67 runs, from which the team could not recover. Suryakumar Yadav has confessed to his ‘crime’ of not batting responsibly. He also did not spare Shubman.
Suryakumar said after the crushing defeat, “We bowled first and we couldn’t do much. We should have made a good comeback. We bowled first and then later they (South African bowlers) realized how important length is on this wicket. It’s a learning process. Just learn and move on. There was a little dew and our plan was not working. We should have had another plan. But never mind. As I said, it’s a learning process. We did it.” We learned how he bowled in the second innings and we will try to implement it in the next match. Surya had put South Africa in to bat after winning the toss in Mullanpur.

The captain further said, “I think I, Shubman could have given a good start because we cannot depend on Abhishek every time. The way he is batting, he can have a bad day. Me, Shubman and some other batsmen should have taken the responsibility. I think it would have been a smart chase. Shubman got out on the first ball. But I should have taken that responsibility, batted for a little longer. We will try to do better in the next match. We did the same in the last one.” Thought that Axar Patel had batted very well in the longer format. Unfortunately, he batted well. The third T20 match will be held in Dharamshala on Sunday.
