Surya’s glow… Bumrah’s bowling, 5 heroes of India’s win against AFG

New Delhi. India has made a good start in the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup 2024. Team India beat Afghanistan by 47 runs in their first Super Eight match. With this win, the Indian team has reached the first position in the Super 8 points table of Group A with 2 points. The net run rate of the Indian team is 2.35. The Indian team will have to win at least two out of three matches to reach the semi-finals. The top two teams from both groups will qualify for the semi-finals. There were 5 heroes of India’s win against Afghanistan, some played important roles in bowling and some in batting.

Suryakumar Yadav played an important role in batting in this victory of Team India. Surya came in at number four and batted brilliantly. He laid the foundation for India’s big score with a 27-ball half-century. Right-handed batsman Surya held one end and played an innings of 53 runs off 28 balls. He scored his second consecutive half-century in this tournament. He hit 5 fours and 3 sixes in his aggressive innings. At one point, Team India lost 3 big wickets at the score of 62 which included the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant. While on one hand these veteran players failed, on the other hand Surya batted brilliantly.

This is the Gujarati who Ishant said as soon as the bowler took his wicket on the very second ball, Sidhu burst out laughing.

Hardik Pandya showed his hand while batting
All-rounder Hardik Pandya also batted well in tough times. Along with Suryakumar, he shared a valuable partnership of 60 runs for the fifth wicket. Pandya scored 32 runs in 24 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes. Pandya showed great bowling skills in the first 3 matches of this tournament. Now all eyes were on his batting but he proved himself in batting against Afghanistan as well. He partnered with Surya to take India to a big score.

There is no one like Jassi
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah cannot be praised enough. Bumrah took 3 big wickets for 7 runs giving 1 maiden in 4 overs against Afghanistan. It gave India its first success. Bumrah, who bowled 20 dot balls in 24 balls, played an important role in Team India’s victory. In this World Cup, Bumrah has so far taken 8 wickets by giving 52 runs while bowling 2 overs in 15 overs.

Arshdeep took two wickets in 2 consecutive balls
Young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh undoubtedly missed out on a hat-trick but the pacer bowled brilliantly in the death overs. He was instrumental in sending Afghanistan’s tail batsmen to the pavilion. Arshdeep took 3 wickets for 36 runs in 4 overs. He shocked Afghanistan by taking 2 wickets in 2 consecutive balls. Arshdeep has been consistently performing well in this World Cup. This fast bowler from Punjab has also played an important role in the victory against Afghanistan.

Kuldeep caught a big fish like Nabi in a spin net.
Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has got a chance in the playing XI for the first time in this World Cup. Kuldeep grabbed this opportunity with both hands. He sent two Afghanistan players to the pavilion after conceding 32 runs in 4 overs, including the big wicket of Mohammad Nabi. There are a lot of expectations from this spinner on the West Indies pitches. Kuldeep gave India a big win against Afghanistan by sending a big batsman like Nabi to the pavilion cheaply. Kuldeep also had an important contribution in the win against Afghanistan.
