Taskin Ahmed Praises India’s Versatile Batting After T20I Loss
New Delhi: Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed heaped praise on India’s batting prowess following their convincing 86-run victory over Bangladesh in the second T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on Wednesday.Â
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Taskin acknowledged India’s adaptability and execution, particularly their ability to excel under various conditions. The win gave India an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
India’s Batting Adaptability
Taskin was impressed by how India batted across different conditions, remarking that the Indian team doesn’t just thrive in home conditions but performs well across diverse pitches globally.Â
“India batted really well. They do that not only in Indian conditions but all the conditions.
They batted well till the end,” Taskin said, reflecting on the team’s consistent ability to adjust and succeed, even after an early collapse at 41/3.
He credited Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh’s crucial partnership of 108 runs, which helped India recover and set a challenging target of 221/9.
Taskin noted that India’s depth in batting is one of the key reasons for their success, with every player contributing under pressure, ensuring the team stays competitive regardless of the situation.
Reflecting on Bangladesh’s Performance
On the flip side, Taskin candidly assessed Bangladesh’s shortcomings in the match, particularly in their batting department.
Despite the pitch being favourable for batting, Bangladesh was unable to capitalise, managing only 135/9 in response to India’s target of 222.
Taskin remarked, “The wicket was good for batting, but we did not bat well to our potential.”
He acknowledged that while the conditions were in their favour, the team struggled to convert opportunities into runs, barring Mahmudullah’s contributions.
Taskin also reflected on his personal performance, stating that he focused on sticking to his game plan and felt clearer in executing it than in the previous match.
India now leads the series 2-0, with Nitish Rana being named the Player of the Match for his all-round contributions.
