Due to this big lapse of captain Hardik Pandya, India’s chance to win both the match and the series in Pune slipped away. Now India will have to win the third T20 match at any cost to win the series.
- Had this player been made to bowl, India would have won the second T20
Team India captain Hardik Pandya made the biggest blunder in the second T20 match against Sri Lanka by not bowling to a deadly player. Captain Hardik Pandya’s mistake was so big that Team India paid the price by losing the match. On one hand, when the Sri Lankan batsmen were tearing apart the Indian bowlers, at that time captain Hardik Pandya did not bowl to one of his most dangerous and deadly players.
- Pandya committed the crime by not giving a chance!
Let us tell you that Team India captain Hardik Pandya had the option of bowling with all-rounder Deepak Hooda in the second T20 match against Sri Lanka, but he did not consider it necessary to give a single over to this deadly player. Team India made the same mistake in the T20 World Cup 2022 as well, when Ravichandran Ashwin and Akshar Patel were being thrashed, no one gave Deepak Hooda a chance to bowl.
- Sri Lankan batsmen could be in trouble
In the second T20 match against Sri Lanka, when three bowlers of Team India were scoring runs at an economy rate of more than 10, even then captain Hardik Pandya did not consider it necessary to give a single over to Deepak Hooda. If captain Hardik Pandya had got Deepak Hooda to bowl, he could have troubled the Sri Lankan batsmen with his lethal off-spin bowling. Talking about Deepak Hooda, he is a very dangerous bowler in T20 format.
- Team India paid the price by losing the match
Deepak Hooda took 4 wickets for 10 runs in 2.5 overs in the Mount Maunganui T20 match against New Zealand last year on 20 November 2022, which is the best bowling performance of this lethal all-rounder in T20 International cricket. Despite being such a dangerous all-rounder in the team, Captain Hardik Pandya did not allow him to bowl a single over in the second T20 match played against Sri Lanka in Pune, the price of which was paid by Team India by losing the match.
