ONE TOUGH DAY THAT BROKE THE DREAM OF A BILLION PEOPLE
Well Played, team India. We are proud of the way you played in this tournament. Unfortunately, the worst had to come in the finals.
Out-of-the-box thinking in high-pressure games is crucial because it allows players to find innovative solutions, adapt quickly, and outsmart opponents. In intense situations, conventional strategies may not always work, and the ability to think creatively can lead to unexpected and successful outcomes. This mindset helps in making split-second decisions, capitalizing on opportunities, and staying ahead of the competition, ultimately contributing to a team's success in high-stakes scenarios.
Cricket is like life. You have to learn to deal with the good and the bad." - Virat Kohli
In a 50 over game, you cannot wait for the batsman to commit a mistake. You have to make him commit a mistake
Cricket is about applying, innovating and rising to the occasion. It is not just about breaking records.
Captain Rohit Sharma's stubbornness to reiterate that he is HITMAN proved costly on the D-day. No doubt, he gave good starts and set the tempo. His fireworks in the first powerplay took pressure off the following batsman and allowed them time to get set. He threw his wicket away when only three balls were remaining in the first powerplay. Even a club cricketer knows that when you get ten runs on the first two balls, you should get a single to stand on the other end, especially when you are batting first.
After losing three quick wickets, Virat Kohli and K.L. Rahul batted too defensively that they didn't get a boundary for twenty two overs. Sorry, but your records don't make you great.
After ten overs, Indian bowlers looked different than the ten previous games in the tournament. Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja were spineless and never seemed like wicket-taking bowlers.
Intelligent batting by Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne took the game away from India.
Australian fielding was a big difference in the two teams. They saved at least thirty runs by running hard and throwing themselves on the field. And, Travis Head's running catch to send the Indian captain back did the same for Aussies what Kapil Dev's catch of Viv Richards did for Indians in 1983.
This is not criticism but my personal assessment of the high voltage game. I really wanted to see my heroes lifting the World Cup.
I stand with the men in blue. It was a tough day and one team had to end up as losers. They are champions and we are proud of them.
Agree with your answer Sir. When I saw India scored only 240 runs, in end I got the feeling that India isn't on the right way, it was too low score to defend against mighty Australia.
ReplyDeleteTravis Head didn't got out till the end of match. He is main reason for Australia's win.
There is website/App called Quora, which is mainly Question-Answer site. I think you should post this content on that Social media, it will get you better reach there (many writers write their answer/posts on that).
