The Indian bowling was not impressive and this helped the Lankan side. The captaincy tactics were also poor from the Indian side. Venkatesh Iyer picked up 2 wickets in the previous match, but he wasn't even given an opportunity to bowl this time. And this happened despite some of the main bowlers leaking over 50 runs in their allotted 4 overs. The problem here is that Venkatesh is being hailed as a replacement for Hardik Pandya, and no matter who is the captain, Pandya will make sure that no such replacement realizes in the Indian team.
Total 5 bowlers used in yesterday game. Patel gave 52 runs, even when he was conceding runs I was wondering why he is not replaced by Venkatesh or some other bowler's. Sharma make sure that Patel complete his 4 overs quota no matter how many runs he gave. It was Shreyas Iyer batting that saved India yesterday.
