Cheteshwar Pujara believes India have prepared their bowling plans and execution for the conditions in the third T20I. Win the toss first and bowl, based on evidence, assuming or hoping that dew would make bowling difficult in the second half, particularly for the spinners.
The West Indies did everything perfectly and staged a 224-run chase in the third T20I against India in Indore, but the dew just didn’t come. And “that’s how it goes,” Shamar Springer said after the game, as the West Indies fell behind by 14 runs and slipped to 1-2 in the five-match series. “I thought the Indians did really well in the middle today, kind of smothered us and ended up giving us too many runs at the end,” Springer said in the press conference after the West Indies finished on 209 for 7, chasing India’s 223.
“We thought the wicket would play a little better. The ball stayed a little deeper than expected. “We also thought there might be some dew in the second half, but that wasn’t really the case.
And like I said, the condition of the wicket was a bit weak [and] the Indian bowlers used the wicket a lot better than we did. “Abhishek Sharma started more cautiously than usual after the West Indies opted to bowl, scoring singles until the third ball of the third over when he bowled Roston Chase over extra cover for four. That was 9 from six balls, the half century brought 12 more balls and the strikes ended at 69 from 30 balls. Springer got him to pull the tip and make the return. “He’s a world-class player.
Kudos to him, for sure. But I think our plan B was to be as defensive as possible and try to give him singles and twos instead of boundaries. Nothing too extravagant,” Springer said.
“It was just a matter of getting it back and being as defensive as possible. That was really it. Because there is no real control here.
“I mean, the wickets are so good and these players are world-class players. They’re the best for a reason. So there’s not much you can do except go on the defensive. » The battle between Abhishek and Chase at the top was good.
Chase had got rid of Abhishek with his offspin in the first and second T20Is and here Abhishek was more cautious at the start. Until he decided to confront Chase and stop him from attacking for a while. “He has been underrated so far but in our dressing room we really preciate what he really does,” Springer said of Chase, who is not your typical T20I player but who has become part of the team in recent years due to the stability he brings to the bat and the overs he can bowl.
