Catches win matches

 It is great that our new hero, Tilak Varma, wanted to take on England's best bowler, Jofra Archer, to put him and other bowlers under pressure. Thankfully he succeeded at Chepauk. Similar was the case with Sanju Samson, who did the same at Eden Gardens, but was accounted for by Archer during the first two games.

I feel that Sanju Samson should steady himself first and then go for his shots. Till then, Abhishek and Tilak Varma should be the aggressors. Ironically, both Surya Kumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya seem to be struggling to clear the ground and failed in their first two games.

Hope they correct themselves soon, to help the team’s cause. Thankfully our fielding has been electrifying with safe hands. But for the dropped catch of Tilak Varma by Rashid, the England team should have won the Chepauk match comfortably. Catches do win matches!
