New Delhi. The result of the third T20 match between India and England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was in favor of the visiting team England. India lost by 8 wickets in the third match of the five-match T20 series. This is the second time in three matches that Indian bowlers have not been able to take even a third wicket. This is the reason that the Indian team is now trailing 1-2 in this series. In such a situation, you need to know about the five reasons, due to which India has lost in the third match.
Reason One: The result of the toss
Three matches of the five-match T20 International series have been played between India and England so far and it has been seen that all three times the team has won the toss and bowled and won the match. In such a situation, the reason for India’s defeat is also the result of the toss, but there is no fault of captain Virat Kohli in this.
Second reason: top order fails
Captain Virat Kohli included Rohit Sharma in the playing eleven to strengthen the top order of the Indian team and himself went on to play at number four, but KL Rahul (0), Rohit Sharma (15) and Ishan Kishan (4) Disappointed. This was an important reason, due to which the team had to face defeat in the third T20 match.
Third reason: drop catches, leave matches
India had put 156 runs on the scoreboard on the strength of captain Virat Kohli’s 77-run knock, but this goal proved to be dwarfed by England opener Jose Butler. The Indian team missed catches on occasions when the team was looking for a wicket. Virat Kohli and Yuzvendra Chahal left Butler’s catches, which led to the loss.
Fourth reason: five bowling options
The Indian team landed in the first match of the T20 series with 6 bowling options, but in the second and third matches, India had only 5 bowling options. In a T20 match, when one or two bowlers are beaten, the captain should have a sixth option, but the captain Kohli and the team management did not pay attention to it.
Fifth reason: Chahal’s performance
In the third T20 match, Yuzvendra Chahal assured India their first success, but they have failed to stop runs as well as bowling well for the third consecutive match. Chahal is the trump card of captain Kohli, but in three matches so far, he has taken 44, 34 and 41 runs taking one wicket each, which is a big reason for the defeat.
