2nd T20I: Hazlewood Bowled Well, Difficult To Recover When Four Down In Power-play, Says Suryakumar
Melbourne Cricket Ground: India captain Suryakumar Yadav praised Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood for his three-fer and lauded teammate Abhishek Sharma’s batting display following the visitors’ four-wicket defeat in the second T20I at a sell-out Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.
Inserted into batting first, India’s innings never quite recovered from a top-order collapse triggered by Hazlewood, whose sensational spell of 3-13 ensured the visitors were four down in the Power-play. He extracted seam movement and bounce with precision, while maintaining a probing length that consistently challenged the Indian batters.
Despite a counter-attacking effort of 68 from Abhishek, India failed to regain momentum as they were bowled out for 125 in 18.4 overs, which Australia chased down with 40 balls remaining. “Absolutely - the way he bowled in the powerplay, if you're four down in the Power-play it's difficult to recover from that. Credit goes to him, Well bowled to him, he bowled really well,” he said.
