Dinesh Karthik once again impressed as a finisher. In today’s first T20 against West Indies, Dinesh Karthik, who played aggressively in the slog overs with Ashwin, scored an unbeaten 41 runs in just 19 balls.
Highlights:
- Rohit Sharma hits half century against West Indies
- Shreyas Iyer ducks out.. Pant fails
- Dinesh Karthik shined in the end
- Alzari Joseph took two wickets
After winning the toss in the match, West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran chose to field without a second thought. So.. Rohit Sharma started India’s innings with experimental opener Suryakumar Yadav (24: 3×4, 1×6 off 16 balls). The opening pair put on a partnership of 44 runs for the first wicket in 4.4 overs. But.. while Suryakumar Yadav got out in Hossain’s bowling alone.. Shreyas Iyer (0), Rishabh Pant (14: 2×4 in 12 balls) and Hardik Pandya (1: 3 balls) took wickets for a low score.
Although wickets are falling at one end.. Rohit Sharma batted very persistently. Although he took a rest from the three ODI series recently, he hit the middle of the ball well in the re-entry and hit two unsightly sixes. The hitman, who also completed a half-century in this sequence, was dismissed at the team score of 127. Ravindra Jadeja (16: 2×4 off 13 balls) who came after that, but finally Dinesh Karthik 1×6) and Ravichandran Ashwin (13 not out: 1×6 off 10 balls) made the bat shine. This pair.. established an unbeaten partnership of 50 runs in 25 balls for the sixth wicket. With that… India managed to score 190 runs.
