5 reasons for the defeat of the Indian team

4 wickets fell on the fourth day

Team India started to chase the target of 193 runs. By the end of the fourth day’s play, India had lost important wickets like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Karun Nair, Shubman Gill and Akash Deep for just 58 runs. Due to this, the team came under pressure from the beginning.

Wickets at regular intervals on the fifth day

On the fifth day, India had expectations from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, but in the first hour, many wickets including both fell. After falling 7 on 82 and 8 wickets at 112, the return to India was almost impossible and the team moved towards defeat.

Major batsmen flop shows

Except KL Rahul in this innings, no Indian top order batsman could stand. Apart from him, no player of the top order could reach 20 runs. The team had to suffer the brunt of this failure. In the end, Ravindra Jadeja fought with the help of Mohammad Siraj and Jaspreet Bumrah, but could not succeed.

Misuse of sky lamp

Before the end of the game on the fourth day, the Indian team sent Akash Deep to bat after the third wicket. He tried to take time out, but he was under pressure from KL Rahul repeatedly giving him a strike and was dismissed. Many fans believe that if Akash Deep’s wicket had survived, the picture would have been different on the fifth day.

Jaspreet Bumrah’s careless shot

When India lost 8 wickets at 112, Bumrah came to the crease and also shared an important partnership with Jadeja. But as soon as the things were handled, he played an aggressive but miss time shot on Ben Stokes’ short ball and lost his wicket.
