You Will Not Get Too Many Chances, Says Aakash Chopra

While speaking on his YouTube channel about India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I, former India player and cricket commentator Aakash Chopra said that both of them should utilize the opportunities they get. Chopra pointed out that Iyer and Hooda had a good opportunity in IND vs SL 3rd T20I to finish the match but they failed to do so.

“Venkatesh Iyer was sent up the order. He spoilt his innings and went because you will not get too many chances. Utilize it whenever you get them else you might regret. You make a mistake once but regret it for a long time. (Deepak) Hooda got a chance to come up the order”.

“It was a short but good knock. He became a little too cute, he should have actually finished the match. You will not get too many opportunities, when you are getting it, make the best use of it”, Aakash Chopra said.

Aakash Chopra also pointed out the mistake Sanju Samson is doing while batting. Samson scored 18 runs off 12 balls while batting as an opener in IND vs SL 3rd T20I.

“Sanju Samson started looking okay and then he got out. His problem is that both his feet are inside the crease and he can get dismissed against pitched-up deliveries. He got out caught behind,” the former India opener Aakash Chopra further said.
