India’s shocking Super Over call left out in-form Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Here’s what happened
India failed to defend a winning position in the ACC Rising Stars semifinal against Bangladesh. The match ended 194–194, but India collapsed in the Super Over, shocking fans
Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 239 runs in four games, including a century and strong knocks vs Pakistan and Bangladesh, so fans expected him to bat in the Super Over
Instead of Suryavanshi, Jitesh Sharma and Ramandeep Singh walked out to bat. Jitesh was bowled first ball, Ashutosh fell the next, India’s Super Over lasted only 2 balls
With Suryavanshi smashing 22 sixes in the tournament, dropping him for a 6-ball shootout left everyone stunned
Jitesh explained that Suryavanshi and Priyansh are powerplay specialists, while he and Ashutosh are better at death overs, so they backed themselves, but the decision backfired
