IND vs USA: Watch- Steven Taylor's powerful six off Shivam Dube brutally hits security official in New York

United States of America (USA) batter Steven Tyalor kept his team in the game in the ongoing game against India in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. 

United States of America have been asked to bat first and they were jolted with early blows as Arshdeep Singh removed two wickets in the first over and put his team at the top. But after that, Steven Taylor is making sure that he keeps battling hard for his team at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. 

Steven Taylor took some time to get going but during the course of his innings, he also has played quite a few brilliant shots in his innings. But what caught the attention of many was the six that he hit off the Shivam Dube during the 9th over of the match. 

Shivam Dube bowled a delivery that was a tad too short. USA batter Steven Taylor opened up his body and then thumped the pull-over mid-wicket that went sailing for a 77m six. But what caught the attention of many was six from him hit a security official at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

Steven Taylor couldn't get going after the start that he had and fell to Axar Patel. He looked settled at the crease and with the way he was batting, he looked set for a big knock. But he couldn't as he perished in the 12th over of the innings at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. 

Axar Patel bowled a tossed-up delivery and drifted in with the angle. It was too close for the drive and Taylor got cramped on the shot. He got an under-edge that bounced onto his stumps and the batter had to take the long walk back to the pavilion. 

Steven Taylor managed just 24 runs off 30 balls and slammed two sixes in his innings. With his wicket, the United States of America was left tottering at 56/4. But after that vital contributions from Nitish Kumar (27), Corey Anderson (15), Harmeet Singh (10) and Shadley van Schalkwyk (11*) took hosts to a fighting total. They ended with a total of 110 for eight, for India, Arshdeep Singh picked four wickets. 

We're disappointed to get this score from where we were - Nitish Kumar 

Nitish Kumar admitted that they were 20 runs short and they were disappointed to not get big runs on the board. He also lauded the crowd for the support and while speaking during the mid-innings, he explained: 

"I think we're disappointed to get this score from where we were (at one stage of our innings), we are 20 runs short, but we have the runs on the board, the wicket isn't the easiest and we'll look to defend. The crowd is always behind us and it's nice to play in front of them." 

In the chase, India came under pressure as they lost Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma (3) and Rishabh Pant (18) early. But Suryakumar Yadav (50*) stood tall for his team and played a magnificent innings. Shivam Dube (31*) supported him well as India chased the target by 7 wickets at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
