“Gussa Chhor Do Bhai!” Suryakumar Yadav Calms Kuldeep Yadav After On-Field Spat, Video Goes Viral

India vs Pakistan

India defeated Pakistan quite convincingly by 61 runs in Colombo. The Men in Blue who were put into bat posted 175/7 in 20 overs after riding on a spectacular innings from Ishan Kishan who smashed 77 off 40 to help the side put up a good total on the board. 

Later, the bowlers did their job and bundled out the opposition for 114. Hardik Pandya scalped two wickets for 16 runs in 3 overs and also bowled a maiden. Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy also bagged a couple. India registered a place in the Super 8 with their third win on the trot in the competition while Pakistan will have to win their contest against Namibia. 

“We played the same brand of cricket, what we wanted to play. I told you at the toss as well. I think batting first was a better option on this wicket. And the way Ishan batted and he was batting in the last few games and also in the domestic circuit, he batted the same way and took the team ahead,” Suryakumar Yadav said after the match. 

“We wanted to play the same way how we were playing. I think Ishan thought something out of the box. After 0 for 1, there had to be someone taking responsibility in the powerplay and the way he took that responsibility, I think it was amazing. I think we were very ahead in the powerplay. There was a little bit of lump in between 7 to 15, but then that’s the beauty of T20 cricket and the way Tilak, Shivam and Rinku batted, I think it was commendable,” he added.
