West Indies vs India 2023
‘Aaj dikha jaake Surya raat ko’ – Fans react as Suryakumar Yadav’s incredible knock helps India comeback in their T20I series against West Indies
Suryakumar Yadav was back to his blistering best as he rattled down the West Indies bowlers
India came into the 3rd T20I game against West Indies with a lot on the line as they would want to avoid losing a T20I series against the Caribbean side for the first time since 2016. The West Indies won the toss and elected to bat, and Kyle Mayers and Brandon King were able to put up a 50-run opening stand. The West Indies openers succeeded in scoring 38 runs during the powerplay.
Axar Patel finally was able to dismiss Mayers, and Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Johnson Charles. The attack was then launched by Nicholas Pooran, but Kuldeep halted him from doing as much destruction as he had in the previous two games.
The West Indies then had a strong finish thanks to Rovman Powell, scoring 159/5 after 20 overs. Powell had a perfect 40 off 19 score, where he was able to hit one four and three maximums to take the West Indies to this total.
India’s chase of the West Indies’ total
Throughout the first two games, India’s batting was a concern, largely due to the failure of their finest batsman, Suryakumar Yadav. West Indies kept losing momentum today while SKY continued to climb the ladder. Suryakumar was called to the crease as a result of Jaiswal’s early dismal, which included him throwing away his wicket in the first over. He only needed somebody to support him on the other end which Tilak Varma performed flawlessly.
The pair accumulated 87 runs for the third wicket with the perfect balance of aggression and composure, ensuring that by the moment Suryakumar was out, the match was already over. Hardik Pandya’s leadership and Varma’s perseverance helped the squad win. There was a case for Tilak Varma to hit his second consecutive fifty in only his third T20I. Hardik Pandya hit a six when the team needed just two runs while the Mumbai Indians youngster was stuck on 49*. The fans let their feelings known to the Indian team about the game.

Whatever the result but Hardik getting bashed after the match nothing new ? should have given the Strike to young Tilak for completing his 2nd fifty in just 3rd game..

That was so stupid from Hardik to not let Tilak get another single. Boundary wasn’t needed there.

Another reason to hate this Pandya didn't let my Tilak complete his 50 ?

Hardik robbed tilak 50

Hardik should have insisted Tilak to hit the winning runs. That's what a captain should do.
