What a match it was! It was all turned just because of Nehra and Bumrah at the death which made the match for India. Having a low score of just 144/8, Indian bowlers came into action which made the series 1-1. KL Rahul managed to score 71 runs which added a lot to the score after a series of failures.

Chasing down, Root and Stokes made 38 runs each but couldn’t add value as the magic of death bowling triggered win for India. Bumrah is the match winner for Indian team with just 5 runs in last two overs. Nehra’s terrific bowling figures of 3-28 helped the top order collapse.

Man of the Match: Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah: I tried to assess the wicket. On this wicket, I thought it’s a big ground and it’s on the slower side, so back of a length deliveries worked well. We all know what Buttler is capable of, but I was trying to stick to my plan. Tried to bowl stump to stump. Back of a length deliveries on the stumps were tough to hit. There was significant dew. Didn’t expect so much. The wicket was up and down so back of a length deliveries worked well.

Nehra: It was a pressure game. The only thing on my mind was to give as many runs to Jasprit (to defend) . One bad ball, one good shot and it would have been over. Hats off to the way Jasprit bowled the last over. We know how good a bowler he is with the old ball. I don’t think anything was wrong with that ball (the one Buttler hit for six to cap off his spell). I did whatever best I could do. I told Bumrah that even if he goes for four (last ball), we will still win. He asked me if he should bowl a length ball but I told him to bowl a yorker outside off, with the kind he has. Even if it’s a full toss, it will go for a four, not for a six. With 32 odd needed off the last 4 overs, I told him that we will win.

The umpire has done good job for India. Must have been selected by the Lodha panel. 😂

Only a hat-trick and two dot balls away from victory. No pressure, India.
