Captain Shikhar Dhawan of India was happy with his squad for fighting well under unfavorable conditions as they lost the second low-scoring T20 International against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. Most of the power hitters being isolated after the positive case of Krunal Pandya COVID-19, India could manage only 132 out to 5 on a sluggish track, pursued by Sri Lanka with two extra balls. “The surface turned and stopped a bit. Of course, we knew that one batsman was short and we knew that we had to build the bats cleverly and that at some point we had to satisfy ourselves “Dhawan stated at the presentation ceremony after the match.
“But yes, we were 10-15 brief runs,” he confessed. “I’m so proud of the boys because we’ve been fighting pretty well. That unpredictable approach and take the game to its last end while defending only 132, credit both for bowlers and hitters, “Dhawan said. Dhawan added.
His Lankan rival Dasun Shanaka praised the BCCI for standing by and accepting the tough times.
“I thought we could chase it if we could contain them to a low total. In the first six overs, we were not able to capitalize. But we were rescued by DDS and Wanindu Hasaranga. I should want to thank the BCCI and the SLC for this opportunity because this is a great opportunity for young men nowadays “Shanaka remarked. Shanaka said.
