YUVRAJ SINGH IS STILL KING IN T20S

I want to tell something about pune stadium ,The first Twenty20 International match at the stadium was played between India and England on December 20th, 2012.It also called as MCA stadium. which were i disscused with in my write.

It was a review of the Subrata Roy Sahara stadium in Pune. It is a very good looking ground, brilliant lights, big boundaries which I was delighted by and the setting was like a picture postcard.

India’s fielding are  looked good when Suresh Raina and Ajinkya Rahane coming in and it India’s little bowlers who made a difference. Though Yuvraj Singh’s skill is not good enough for Tests he remains a big strength in limited overs cricket. India has the Yuvrajs and the Rainas and the Kohlis so we get for   limited overs  but we do not have the bowlers to take 20 wickets in Tests.
We saw how Yuvraj, the 7th bowler to come in, turned the game. I do not think I’ve been to a cricket match ever in my life where the 7th bowler was the first to finish his quota of 4 overs! He had a Bowling Efficiency of 76, higher than the rest of the spinners R Ashwin (Bowling Efficiency: 52), Ravindra Jadeja (Bowling Efficiency: 32) and Piyush Chawla (Bowling Efficiency: 38). Yuvraj’s blinder when he came to bat, the 38 off 21ball gave him a Batting Momentum of 64, taking his Castrol Index for the match to a stunning 88.

England’s innings showed that there are phases even in T20,were 89/1 after 10 overs but India still came back. We saw that a team has an opportunity to come back in the game even after a poor start in 20 overs cricket and I enjoyed that about the match.

It seems to me that Alex Hales should be a good 4 day batsman. He just hits in very classical lines, he hits straight, I did not see him slog, his hits were clean. His was a blistering knock, coming in at 71 in the Batting Momentum charts.
Maybe it is the pitches in T20 that allow him to play that kind of cricket. The Pune pitch was not great during the T20 Premier League with games which had 120-130 scores most of the time but this was a good track for T20.
India’s chase always seemed under control. Every time a wicket fell, we had a partnership of 40-50 and those are very important in T20. Also there was a fair amount of batting in the line up so it never felt at any point that India looked like they were not going to win. The Castrol Index showed that, India ending on 56 to England’s 52.
It is see the need for change. They might play Rohit Sharma but MS Dhoni always likes to have extra  need to give the bowlers more time but it is a settled side that just won an easy game so I do bowlers around. When your bowlers go for runs, you understandably want bowling options. And that is why they play Ravindra Jadeja over Rohit, even though Rohit Sharma is so much in form.
