T-20: If Team India Lose Today, Australia Will Win Series Against India After 10 Years

T-20: If Team India Lose Today, Australia Will Win Series Against India After 10 Years

India-Australia match from 1:20 pm today, broadcast on Sony Network.
Team India unbeaten from previous nine series, no series lost this year.

Melbourne: The second T20 match of the three-match series between India and Australia will be played on Friday. The match will start at 1:20 pm Indian time. Australia is ahead of 1-0 in the series. He defeated India by four runs on the basis of Duckworth-Lewis rule in the first T20 at Brisbane. If Australia also defeats India in this match, then they will be able to win the series against Team India after 10 years in the T20 format.

India wins series two times against Australia: Australia won the last Twenty20 series against India on February 1, 2008. Since then, there have been four bilateral T-20 series between India and Australia but has failed to win it. India won two series and made two draws. At the same time, the Indian team is invincible from the previous nine series. India last played a series against the West Indies on 9 July 2017 last year. Since then India played nine series, eight of which won and made a draw.

India’s success rate in T20 in Melbourne is 67%: India played three T20 matches at the Melbourne #Cricket Ground. Of these, it has won the last two matches, it lost the toss in both of these matches. Team India last played here on February 1, 2008. However, it was successful in winning the toss. India last played a T20 match on January 29, 2016 on this ground. It won by 27 runs.

Umesh-Chahal can get chance: Team India lost the last T20 only by four runs. After such a close defeat, the team management can make changes in the last eleven. In that match, Khaleel Ahmed scored 42 runs in three overs with an average of 14, and Krunal Pandya gave 55 runs in four overs with an average of 13.75. In this case, Umesh Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal can be included in the last eleven in place of both. However, eliminating Krunal will reduce a batsman.

Rahul did not make a score of 30+ in the last six matches: In the wake of Lokesh Rahul’s poor form, Indian batting order may also change. Since making an unbeaten 101 in the first T20 in Manchester against England, Rahul has not been able to score more than 30 runs in six matches so far. The team management has retained him at number three, while captain #Virat Kohli is himself in fourth place. Rahul needs to achieve the rhythm because he will be a part of India’s heading in the Test series.

Wrong fielding will be expensive: In Brisbane, the Indian team could not perform as well as expected in fielding. Kohli himself made a mistake twice. Earlier, Kohli missed the catch of Australian captain Aaron Finch and later missed the fielding in the deep. Prior to the first match, Kohli had said that it is necessary to maintain pressure in critical moments by curbing mistakes. However, due to three matches in five days in the series, the Indian team could not find the time to work on the weaknesses. It must have been discussed in the dressing room only.

The teams are:
India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, Rishbha Pant, Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaspreet Bumrah, Bhubaneswar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Washington beautiful
Australia: Aaron Finch (Captain), Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorf, Alex Cary, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Chris Lynn, Ben McDermott, Glenn Maxwell, D’Arcy Short, Billy Stanlake, Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa

Australia Tour: Host Bowlers Will Get The Advantage Of Height But We Are Ready For Challenge: Rohit

India’s tour of Australia begins in Brisbane on November 21 with the first T-20 match.
The Indian team has played 11 Test series in Australia so far, but not a single win.

Brisbane: #Rohit Sharma believes that Australian bowlers will get benefit from their height on the home ground, but the Indian batsmen are all set to deal with the host team’s challenges. However, Rohit acknowledges that it is difficult to face fast pitches in Australia. India’s tour of Australia begins on November 21 with the first T20 International match in Brisbane.

Australia’s fast bowlers take advantage of domestic conditions: Rohit said, “India has always been playing in Perth and Brisbane. The conditions of both the grounds are challenging. Australia has heightened bowlers, these conditions are favorable for them. They take advantage of them. ‘ Team India will play in the second Test in Perth from December 14 to 18.

However, Rohit claimed, “Indian batsmen are generally not as tall as them, so for us, batting here will not be easy, but this time our team is determined to change things. We are fully prepared to accept the challenge.”

Rohit said, “It’s a challenge for our players to bat here but most of the team has played in Australia before, so they understand the conditions. Whatever format we play, their bowling attack will challenge us, but our batsmen are ready for that.”

In the tour of Australia, India will play in the first three matches of the T-20 series, then four Tests and three one-day matches. India has played 11 Test series so far in Australia. Of these, it has not won any match, while in eight it has to face defeat.

After the practice session on Gabba ground in Brisbane, Rohit said, ‘whenever you are on a foreign tour, there is always a special experience. Australia is a place where we want to leave our identity. We will work here as a unit.’

He said, “Last time we played Test Series here. However, we lost both Tests and had two Test draws. However, I believe that some of the matches, especially in Brisbane, were very close to the test. This time our aim is to redeem all the opportunities.”

Australia Tour: Every Team’s Overseas Performance Is Poor, Why To Target India Only: Shastri

Australia Tour: Every Team’s Overseas Performance Is Poor, Why To Target India Only: Shastri

Team India coach said – Our aim is to perform best on the field.
India’s tour of Australia begins on November 21 by T20 in Brisbane.

Brisbane: Even though Team India may have put up a poor show overseas, the coach #Ravi Shastri‘s opinion is different from that. He believes that at the time when most of the world’s countries are performing poorly in abroad, it is not right to blame any single team. India has lost Test series in India in 2018. India lost the Test series against South Africa 1-2 and against England 1-4. Its performance was on when Team India, under the leadership of Virat Kohli, had a good chance of winning the series, but it did not happen and Team India remained a record of poor performance abroad.

Learning from mistakes will only get success: Asked how important it is to win the series in Australia, Shastri said, ‘You have to learn from your mistakes. When you are on an overseas tour and look at teams currently playing abroad, then there are many teams whose foreign tours have not been successful’.

In the last 5-6 years, every team played poorly abroad: He questioned, ‘Australia’s 90’s and the end of the 20th century have been good for some time. South Africa’s performance was good for some time now. Apart from these two, you tell me that in the last five-six years, any team has a great performance overseas. Then why such questions are being raised on India’s performance?

Lose in South Africa: Asked whether he or the captain Virat Kohli spoke to the team about the reasons for losing the series in South Africa, Shastri said that it was about all important chances. If you look at test matches, you will not know the real story from its scoreline. Some tests were very close and we did poorly on important occasions. We had to pay the price as a series defeat.

Every team is strong in its home: Shastri denied that the Australian team lost its stature in the last few months, for which it was known. They said, ‘I do not believe that. Once you come into sports culture then you always live. I have always believed that no team in the house is weak. When a team arrives in India and God forbid that our three or four players do not play, but if someone thinks that we are a weak team then you will be surprised.’

Players just instructed to pay attention to the game: He cautioned, ‘In this way, we are also dedicated to our purpose. We want to do our best by landing on the field. We have told the players that instead of paying attention to things outside, they focus only on their game. ” Shastri expressed confidence that his fast bowler will do well on Australian pitches.

In The Team, I Get To Hear The Most From Ravi Shastri Only: Kohli

In The Team, I Get To Hear The Most From Ravi Shastri Only: Kohli

Captain #Virat Kohli and coach #Ravi Shastri‘s press conference before the tour of Australia.
Team India’s tour begins with a T-20 match against Australia in Brisbane on November 21.

Mumbai: Coach Ravi Shastri thinks that Virat Kohli-led team India is the best team for the last 15 years. However, Kohli says that he gets to hear the most from the team only with Ravi Shastri. Before leaving for Australia tour, Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri said this at a press conference here. In Australia, India will play three T-20, four Tests and three ODI series.

No compete to Shastri’s Man Management: Virat said, “Most of the time I have heard from the coach only, but these are personal things. He is in an internal environment of the team. Everyone in the team has the freedom to hold their opinion. One day my #cricket will end. Ravi Bhai will also go We only work for a given responsibility. Both of us, rather we all have the only purpose that to take cricket forward. Shastri has been a major contributor in my visit to England in 2014 and Shikhar Dhawan in 2015. On his suggestions, I made many important changes in the team. He is wonderful in terms of man management.”

Focus on batting in Australia: Virat said that our focus in Australia will be greater on batting as our bowlers are performing well at the present time. If all-rounder is able to contribute with runs in the lower order then we can change the outcome of any match or series. If we leave the Lord’s Test in England then we have a good batting line-up. Yes, in our one match, our batsmen did not do well together.

Do not have time to experiment now: Shastri: Shastri said that we can not take the ODI series lightly in Australia because it will be a series before the World Cup. At such times we can not see any other player hurt. Now the time to experiment has passed. We do not have time to remove or change any player now.

Ganguly said, “It is a great moment for Indian cricket, this team of India is good and its bowling attack is fantastic. I saw in England that the bowlers of India had taken 20 wickets in every match.”
