In the third T20I match against England, once again a big innings was expected from young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but he could not stay at the crease for long. In the match played at Trent Bridge, the 15-year-old young batsman definitely hit some aggressive shots, but could not stand in front of Joffra Archer’s speed and precise strategy. Vaibhav returned to the pavilion after scoring only 13 runs.
Vaibhav’s bat did not work again
Vaibhav, who scored 14 runs in his T20I debut in Manchester, could score one run less than that this time. His innings was ended by his own IPL teammate Joffra Archer of Rajasthan Royals. Vaibhav was a little late in playing the pull shot on Archer’s fast bouncer and the ball took the edge of his gloves and went into the hands of wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
Archer’s first ball was a bouncer with a speed of 144 kilometers per hour, on which Vaibhav missed playing the pull shot. The next ball was also short, but outside the off stump. This time Vaibhav’s bat hit a thick edge and the ball went over third man for a six. After this, Vaibhav took four runs and a single on two balls of Josh Tong. But when Archer came to bowl again in the third over, he bowled a perfect bouncer on the leg stump. Vaibhav then went to play a pull shot and was caught.
Team India disintegrated in powerplay
Before Vaibhav was out, Josh Tong had sent Abhishek Sharma to the pavilion. After this he also took the wicket of Ishan Kishan. At the same time, Archer also dismissed captain Shreyas Iyer and Akshar Patel in the same over. In no time, India’s score became five wickets for 52 runs in just five overs.
The last over of the powerplay exposed the Indian batting. Will Jacques gave only two runs in this over and after 6 overs India’s score was 54/5. With this, India also made an unwanted record in T20I cricket. This is the first time that the Indian team has lost its first five wickets in the powerplay.
