IND vs AUS 2022 No 19th over no Bhuvi - Fans react as Team India pick seven batters for a rain-shortened game

By Anuj Nitin Prabhu Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Fans were confused to see Team India go with seven batters for an eight-over game. () Team India have made the interesting decision to go in with just five proper bowling options (including an allrounder) for the rain-shortened game against Australia at Nagpur. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been dropped as the Men in Blue have beefed up their batting by picking Rishabh Pant, making it seven batters in the team. Bhuvneshwar hasn't been in the greatest of forms of late and questions were being asked about his place in the Indian team. However, very few might have predicted Pant to be brought in as a replacement. Fans on Twitter were baffled to see the hosts pick seven proper batters for an eight-over game instead of fixing their bowling woes. They were also excited to see what could happen in the eight-over game. Here are some of the reactions: Chango Tarlie ?@owl_corner8 over ka match? bhai mai to 16th over se pahle batting hi nahi kar pata 151268 over ka match? bhai mai to 16th over se pahle batting hi nahi kar pata https://t.co/EGM1I5RQC8 sourav@Purplepatch22"Bhuvi aaj match 8 overs ka hai, so no 19th over for you613135"Bhuvi aaj match 8 overs ka hai, so no 19th over for you https://t.co/sGy4JB8iyW Abhishek@notoutofboxsNo 19th over no bhuvi41No 19th over no bhuvi ???????? ?@ps26_11India gone with 1 bowler short because Sams is playing today, to make it an even contest #INDvsAUS2India gone with 1 bowler short because Sams is playing today, to make it an even contest #INDvsAUS Starlord@NotTheDarkBladeGADHO LEFT OUT BHUVIGADHO LEFT OUT BHUVI Sharique@Jerseyno93Kitna batting chahiye 8 overs me 3Kitna batting chahiye 8 overs me Cricketologist@AMP86793444Why have 7 batters for an 8 over game?

Team India should be happy to have won the toss

Captain Rohit Sharma had absolutely no hesitation in putting the visitors in to bat after winning the toss, as chasing gets easier in a shortened game with the batters knowing the target. Hardik Pandya began well in the first over, as he found some swing and conceded just ten runs, which should be considered a win for the bowler in such a short game. The hosts also managed to pick up the big wicket of the dangerous Cameron Green, thanks to some brilliant fielding from Virat Kohli. However, with Glenn Maxwell at the crease at the time of writing, they know they will need to keep chipping away with the wickets to restrict Australia to a gettable total. India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal Australia (Playing XI): Aaron Finch (c), Cameron Green, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Daniel Sams, Pat Cummins, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood Get the Latest updates & News on T20 World Cup & Follow us for Live Scores, Schedule, and Squads Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by S Chowdhury × Feedback Thank You!
