New Delhi. After all, the Indian team’s winning streak in Asia Cup 2022 has been braked. The Indian team’s match was with Pakistan on Sunday 4 August. Despite a great start to this match, Pakistan’s team managed to register a win. At the same time, the hopes of the Indian team defeating Pakistan were dashed. In this match, the Indian team, batting first, gave a decent target in front of the Pakistan team. Chasing 182 runs, Pakistan’s team won the thrilling match. There were many occasions during the match when it seemed that the Indian team would win, but the team could not capitalize on those opportunities and was forced to face defeat in front of Pakistan. For this defeat, many people and former veteran players are accusing Arshdeep Singh of leaving the catch of the Pakistani batsman at the end of the match, but it is not so. Apart from this, there are many other occasions when Indian batsmen and bowlers made such mistakes, due to which the team was defeated. Let us take a look at the reason for the loss in the match, highlighting such shortcomings.
Virat failed in the last over
There is no doubt that Indian batsman Virat Kohli played a brilliant innings in the match on Sunday. Virat scored the most runs for India. He played an important innings of 60 runs, due to which the Indian team could reach 181 runs. Even after all this, Virat disappointed in the last over. He was seen fighting in front of Haris Rauf from Pakistan side. Virat could score only one run in four balls of this over. If Virat had been successful in hitting fours or sixes in the last over, then the Indian team’s score would have crossed 190, but this could not happen.
Bhuvi’s 19th over was expensive
India’s legendary bowler Jasprit Bumrah is not playing in the Asia Cup 2022. In such a situation, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is playing the role of the most experienced bowler of the team. But he looted a lot of runs on the Pakistan team in the 19th over. Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave away 19 runs in the 19th over. After which Pakistan team needed only 7 runs in the last over.
Hardik could not leave an all-rounder’s impression
At present, all-rounder Hardik Pandya is showing his game as the most trusted player of the Indian team. But Hardik did not appear in his color in this match. In batting, Hardik was dismissed for zero while facing two balls, while he conceded 44 runs in four overs during the bowling.
