New Zealand is the only team to beat India in a T20i bilateral series. Also we couldn’t beat the Kiwis in the first 5 T20i matches. Well it’s in the past. Seeing the current team India it is possible that we could give Kiwis their biggest defeat in T20i’s.
After beating Australia,after going down in first march, the team was high in confidence . Landing just 2 days before in Auckland their was hardly any time for practice. But the team looked fully prepared fir the test ahead of them and not rusty. It was a surprise that India won the toss but not a surprise when it choose to field first. It’s win- loss record while batting first is 14-9 and while chasing is 18-4.
The Kiwis were off to a blistering start, with the likes of Martin Guptil and Colin Munro. This partnership fully capitalized the powerplay knocking the bowlers all around the park. But Shivam Dube who has been given a chance, broke the partnership. Then came in Kane Williamson, with his classy technique carried the innings. He was well supported by Ross Taylor. Soon after Williamson got dismissed it looked like New Zealand would not cross 200 mark. But the experience always comes in handy. It was shown by Taylor by making a quick fire 54 off 27 to give them a psychological advantage over India.
India’s riposte was led by a wonderfully eye-catching half-century from KL Rahul,every inch the classicist as he refused to sacrifice orthodoxy at the altar of strike-rate,and a breathtaking finish from Shreyas Iyer ,the new kid in the block. It’s not often that an innings of some proportion from Kohli is put to shade , but Rahul and Iyer managed precisely that, the former setting the tenor for the chase and the latter hastening it with a combination of poise,composure and flair under pressure on his way to the man of the match award. Having lost Rohit Sharma in the second over itself, Rahul and Kohli negated the loss with a fluent 99-run stand for the second wicket. But they both were dismissed within 6 runs of each other as India still needed 83 off 53. Iyer took it up on himself to steer the ship home. Batting with responsibility and awareness befitting a young captain of an IPL franchise,Iyer chose the right moments and balls to unfurl his aggression.
Also in the evening, Jasprit Bumrah provided further evidence of why he is considered the best white-bowler worldwide with a tidy start and an excellent spell at the death,Chahal, Dube and Jadeja were all switched on ,which made up for the profligacy of Mohammad Shami and Shardul Thakur. Without fuss.Stike one to India then.

On Sunday India lost the 2nd T20i to West Indies. Having lost the toss india were made to bat first. They put on a defendable and respectful total of 170/7 with the collective efforts of Shivam Dube at top and a couple of handy knocks down the order. This was chased by windies by keeping 8 wickets in hand and 9 balls to spare.
The T20i world cup is going to be held in Australia next year. Every team is trying to get their combinations right. Every team wants to solve their problems and see to that it that they do not get exposed. India’s problem is that they struggle to bat first. We all know that India is one of the best teams in chasing targets probably the best. But it when comes to bat first our record is not good. One of the main reasons for India’s struggles when they bat first is their inability to make the most of the powerplay. Since the last T20 World Cup in 2016, India’s run rate in the powerplay has been a little over than 8 runs per over, which puts them behind some of the well-oiled T20I teams, including England and Australia. Behind this one of the reasons would be Shikhar Dhawan. Shikhar Dhawan’s strike rate in T20I cricket tells us an interesting story. Over the years, the left-hander has scored at 128.67 and his inability to switch gears has been a cause of concern.In 2019, Dhawan’s form in T20I cricket has been ordinary. Dhawan has managed just 222 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of just 109.35. He is yet to score a 50-plus score in the ongoing year in T20Is.
Also India’s inability to convert good start into a big total. We lack content in the final overs where the momentum shifts in favour of the opponents. Losing Hardik Pandya for this entire home season has been a major set back for India. He has proven from time to time that he can smash the bowlers and help the team to reach a respectful total.
One of the most important concern is India’s fielding. In the ongoing India has dropped some of the crucial catches at some crucial times which costed India 2nd T20i. Yuvraj Singh, one of finest fielder, has slammed the efforts of India in fielding. He tweeted , “India very poor on the field today ! Young guns reacting a bit late on the ball! Too much cricket ? ? Let’s get these runs come on lads.” Poor fielding leads to lack of confidence among bowlers who try to defend the total.
So India must improve these problems and not let the opponents exploit our flaws.

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
