IND vs SL: "It Seemed Like A Cycle Stand" - Aakash Chopra On Sri Lanka's Batting Collapse

Indian Cricket Team registered a resounding victory against Sri Lanka in the 3rd T20I. Losing the match by a mammoth margin of 91 runs is unacceptable in modern cricket. Not a single Sri Lankan batter scored 30-odd runs in the steep run chase of 229 runs.

India on the other hand would be mightily pleased with their performance as they showed that they cannot be written off. Suryakumar Yadav was toying with the bowlers as he was ready for all sorts of challenges where he smashed 112 runs in 51 balls where he struck 7 fours and 9 sixes.

Aakash Chopra on Sri Lankan batters

Aakash Chopra was seen speaking on his YouTube channel and made some interesting comments on Sri Lanka. “Wickets kept falling regularly after the two openers got out. It seemed like a cycle stand, one cycle fell and all the cycles fell one after the other. Everyone put wickets in their kitty, other than Shivam Mavi. He bowled only one over in which we gave away six runs,” said Aakash Chopra.

“Hardik Pandya picked up two wickets. He got a wicket off the first ball but the third umpire was used rightly and the ball was missing the leg stump. Arshdeep got three wickets. The first over was slightly expensive for sure, there were three wides, but three wickets – fantastic,” he added.

Aakash Chopra on Indian bowlers

Aakash Chopra was quite praise-worthy on Indian bowling lineup. “Axar had a wicket in his account and Yuzi Chahal picked up two wickets. Umran Malik – 31 runs in three overs. Umran is going to remain expensive. He doesn’t bowl with the new or old ball but picks up wickets in the middle,” said Aakash Chopra.

“Umran might be a little expensive. He might have gone at nearly 10 an over in this series but he picked up wickets in every match. He has changed the dynamics. The guy is providing you a different option. You are rattling the batters with pace in the middle overs,” he added.
