IND vs ENG, 3rd T20I: Suryakumar Yadavs explosive ton goes in vain as India lose by 17-runs #IndiaNEWS #Cricket
Nottingham: Suryakumar Yadavs heroic century went in vain as India succumbed to a 17-run defeat to England in the third and final T20I of the series here at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Sunday.
The inning was a disappointing one for India. They lost their top order within a very short time. A huge 119-run partnership followed between centurion Suryakumar Yadav (117*) and Shreyas Iyer (28) followed and gave India a chance in the match. But English pulled back the game in their favour by taking wickets at crucial stages and denied Men in Blue a clean sweep. India has won the series 2-1.
Chasing 216, India was off a terrible start, losing Rishabh Pant for just one in the second over. Medium-pacer Reece Topley sent him back to the pavilion after wicketkeeper and skipper Jos Buttler caught Pant from behind.
This brought Virat Kohli to the crease. He looked good, smashing David Willey for a four and a six in the third over. But he was dismissed for just 13 in that over while attempting to slap a wide-length ball. The ball landed safely in the hands of Jason Roy.
Suryakumar Yadav was up next on the crease. Rohit-Suryakumar tried to build a partnership by hitting some good shots and maintaining a solid running between the wickets, but it was cut short at 18-runs after Topley dismissed Rohit for 11 with assistance from the safe hands of Phil Salt. India was in crisis, with its top order back in the hut within a space of 31 runs.
Shreyas Iyer was next on the crease. At the end of six overs, India stood at 34/3, with Suryakumar Yadav (8*) and Shreyas Iyer (1*).
Suryakumar Yadav kept going, producing some fine shots. He punished Liam Livingstones spin heavily in the ninth over, hitting him for three beautifully placed fours. The duo brought up their 50-run stand in just 29 balls. At the end of 10 overs, India stood at 82/3, with Suryakumar Yadav (41*) and Shreyas Iyer (14*).
The duo kept piling up runs, with Yadav reaching his fifth T20I half-century in 32 balls. The scoreboard kept ticking as the 100-run mark was touched in 12. 1 overs, thanks to a six by Yadav on a Liam Livingstone delivery. Yadav became extremely aggressive after reaching his fifty, hitting Livingstone for two more sixes in the same over. The over gave away a total of 21 runs.
Iyer-Yadav kept scoring runs, with the latter being the aggressor and Iyer being the anchor. The duo formed a 100-run stand in just 54 balls.
At the end of 15 overs, with Suryakumar Yadav (93*) and Shreyas Iyer (28*). India needed 67 more in the final five overs. The game had swung into Indias favour.
Topley gave his side the key wicket of Iyer for 28 runs after he was caught behind by wicketkeeper Buttler.
