Men in blue

Kudos to our men in blue, especially Tilak Verma, for his maiden century in T-20 and the timely return to form by Abhishek Sharma, who gave a firm foundation to set a winning target of 220 for the South African team.

However, it is a real worry that our stalwarts like Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson, who are still struggling to score runs.

No doubt, Sanju Samson hit a back to back century to enable our team to win those matches.

But he followed it with back to back Ducks, that too during the first over itself, during match No.2 & 3.

It seems, after his back to back centuries, he got complacent and gifted his wickets in the next two matches.

We are confident that he would correct his mistakes and hit a decent score during the final T-20 match against South AFrica and prove that he is a genuine opener, who could be relied on to fill the opening slot of Rohit Sharma.

We wish him and the entire team the best to win the series 3-1.
