In the T20 World Cup 2024, an exciting match took place between India and America in New York. In this match, India defeated USA by 7 wickets with 10 balls to spare. With this, Team India also qualified for the Super-8. America had set a target of only 111 runs in front of India. To score so many runs, the American bowlers made the batsmen of Team India work hard. From America, Indian-origin Saurabh Netravalkar first made Virat Kohli a victim of golden duck, then also got Rohit Sharma out for 3 runs. Due to this, India got into trouble. Despite this, Netravalkar was seen cursing himself after the match.

What does Netravalkar regret?

Saurabh Netravalkar bowled brilliantly against India. He gave only 18 runs in 4 overs and also took two important wickets. This put India under pressure. When Rishabh Pant was out on a score of 39 in the 8th over, the runs were curbed. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dubey had to work hard for every run. Due to this the required run rate started increasing gradually. India could score only 58 runs in 12.3 overs and Suryakumar Yadav was standing at the crease after scoring 22 runs.

To control the run rate, Surya tried to hit a boundary on the fourth ball of the 13th over and got caught by Netravalkar. However, the catch was missed and Surya became alert. After the match, Netravalkar, who had played with Surya in the Under-15 days, expressed regret over this catch. Saurabh Netravalkar cursed himself for USA's defeat. He took full responsibility for this and said that if he had caught Surya's catch, more pressure could have been put on India.

America's star became in T20 World Cup

Saurabh Netravalkar, who once dreamed of playing for Team India, has emerged as a star for the American cricket team. He has played for India in the Under-19 and is now making a splash in the T20 World Cup.

After this, he also created pressure with his brilliant bowling against India. Software engineer Saurabh Netravalkar currently works for Oracle but at a young age he created an app to help local cricketers.
