Pant-Dravid must have been regretting keeping Akshay Patel in the team! Second time guilty of defeat
The Indian cricket team had to face defeat by 4 wickets in the second match of the 5-match T20 series against South Africa. With this, Team India is 2-0 behind in the series. Even after losing the first match, captain Rishabh Pant did not make any changes in this match and the same thing engulfed Team India. There was one player in this match who flopped with both ball and bat.
The player drowned the team
In the second T20, the performance of many players of Team India was very poor. But the most disappointed star all-rounder Axar Patel did. Akshar was included in the team as an all-rounder who could turn the match with ball and bat. But he disappointed in both the things. Batting first, Akshar scored only 10 runs. At the same time, in bowling, he crossed the limit and conceded 19 runs by throwing just one over. This player has been a flop in both the matches.
Was a flop in the first match too
Akshar Patel’s performance in the first T20 was also very poor. Akshar had given 40 runs in his quota of 4 overs in the first T20 at an average of 10 runs. This was the reason that Team India lost this match even after scoring 211 runs first. It was expected from Axar that he would not allow the batsmen to score more runs in the middle order. But it didn’t happen. Now it has become the compulsion of the team to exclude this player in the next match.
Indian team trailing 2-0
The Indian team had to face the second consecutive defeat in the series. Now to stay in the series, Team India will have to win the third match at any cost. Otherwise Team India will lose the series. India has not won the series against South Africa at home till date. Now to win the series, Team India will have to win the remaining three matches. However, looking at the embarrassing performance of the Indian team, it seems that it is very difficult to beat the South African team.
