Indian team had a bad start
The Indian team had a very bad start. When he was the hero of the last match. Abhishek Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring just 12 runs. After this, Sanju Samson (12 runs) also could not show anything special. Then Tilak Verma came to bat at number three. He presented an excellent example of batting in the match and the England bowlers could not stand before him. He was the only batsman in the match who completely defeated the English bowlers. Washington Sundar contributed 26 runs.
Tilak Verma batted strongly in the last overs
After 17 overs, the Indian team had scored 146 runs at the loss of 8 wickets and needed 20 runs in three overs to win. But the biggest problem was that Ravi Bishnoi, who is known for bowling, was present at the crease to support Tilak Verma. In such a situation, very few people expected that Team India would be able to win this match. But contrary to everyone’s expectations, Bishnoi batted well. Due to this, India scored 7 runs in the 18th over. Now Team India needed 13 runs in 12 balls and had two wickets left.
Made the team win by hitting a four
