He was also scoring runs, as long as he was at the crease, no one was talking about India’s victory, but today Team India had victory in mind, not defeat. And Rohit Sharma’s team won. Analysis of victory over Australia…
1. Match Winner- Rohit Sharma
The foundation of India’s victory was laid by the powerful batting of Captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit scored 92 runs at a strike rate of 224. Hit 8 sixes, 7 fours. At one time his strike rate had crossed 300. Rohit scored the fastest fifty in this World Cup, scoring 50 runs in 19 balls. Missed the fastest century. But Rohit did not stop as long as he remained at the crease. Thanks to his innings, the team’s score crossed 200 and there was a psychological pressure on Australia.
hero of victory
Akshar Patel: India’s spin all-rounder Akshar Patel’s name has been written first among the heroes of victory. The reason is not just that he gave 21 runs in 3 overs. He took the wicket of Marcus Stoinis, but the catch he took of Australian captain Mitchell Marsh did not seem possible under any circumstances. Marsh’s powerful shot on the short ball was going to cross the boundary, but it turned into a wall. Jumped in the air and made an impossible catch with one hand. A catch on which Australia could not believe, but India’s hopes of winning became stronger.
Jasprit Bumrah: India’s lead pacer took only one wicket. That wicket for which not only Team India but the entire Indian fans were eagerly waiting. Travis Head, who was leading Australia to victory, was trapped by Bumrah in his slower off-cutter. The ball went in the air and Rohit Sharma completed the catch. Bumrah gave 29 runs in 4 overs. His bowling has a big role in this victory.
Kuldeep Yadav: 4 overs, 24 runs and 2 wickets. Kuldeep Yadav put brakes on Australia who were easily moving towards 205 runs. Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell, who were looking dangerous, were shown the way to the pavilion. Whenever India came under pressure, he reduced that pressure by taking wickets.
Arshdeep Singh: Arshdeep Singh took maximum 3 wickets against Australia. Opener David Warner was caught in the slip in the very first over. Suryakumar took an excellent catch. Bowled 2 overs in the powerplay and gave 20 runs. After this, Rohit gave him the ball directly in the 16th over. Australia needed 65 from 30 balls and Arshdeep gave only 7 runs. He gave away 14 runs in the 18th over for bowling, but took the wickets of explosive batsmen like Matthew Wade and Tim David. The pressure on Australia for both runs and wickets increased.
turning point
Wickets of Maxwell and Head
When Glenn Maxwell came to the crease, 87 runs had been scored in 9 overs. Travis Head was at the crease and the only need was to maintain the runrate. Maxwell had scored 20 runs in just 12 balls. Had hit 2 fours and 1 six. There was a partnership of 41 runs in just 25 balls between Travis Head and Maxwell. Australia were on the front foot and looked to complete the run chase easily, but Kuldeep brought his fourth over. Maxwell was trapped on the first ball of the 14th over. Maxwell wanted to go ahead and hit a big shot, but he was bowled by Kuldeep’s leg spin. Australia came under pressure and at the same time Travis Head was also worried because his fellow batsman who was scoring runs at a fast pace had returned to the pavilion.
Travis Head had scored 75 runs. To win, 58 runs were needed from 24 balls and in the form Head was in, these runs did not appear to be much. Rohit brought his most experienced bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Head took one run on the first ball and Tim David took one run on the second. Then Head was in front. Bumrah bowled a slower off cutter. Head tried to play a big shot, but got caught in the tricks of Jasprit Bumrah. The ball bounced in the air with the edge of the bat and was caught by captain Rohit Sharma standing at the covers.
3 reasons for India’s victory
- Rohit Sharma’s 92 runs Rohit Sharma played an inning of 92 runs. This inning did not allow India’s run rate to fall below 10 from powerplay to middle overs. Thanks to these 92 runs, Team India reached 205 runs. Out of the target given by India, half the runs were from Rohit Sharma.
- Rohit’s captaincy, bowling change Even though 205 runs had to be chased, Rohit Sharma knew that Australia could not be taken lightly. The same thing happened, Head’s innings troubled him. But Rohit Sharma changed the field continuously. The mix of spin and pace also did not deteriorate. Due to this, the Australian batsmen were not able to get comfortable in front of the bowling. Only Travis Head could score big quickly. Apart from him and Marsh, no batsman could score more than 20 runs.
- Bowlers kept taking wickets continuously Australia’s run rate was around 10 till 12 overs. But Kuldeep, Akshar, Arshdeep and Bumrah bowled tightly. Especially on the balls of Akshar Patel and Bumrah, the Australians were not able to score much runs. These bowlers continuously took the wickets of Australian batsmen. The pressure of runs and wickets also increased on the Kangaroos.
