Team India is currently competing in the second T20I against Bangladesh in Delhi, looking to secure the series after a commanding performance in the first match. Despite a strong start, the team faced early setbacks by losing two wickets during the powerplay. With Suryakumar Yadav and Nitish Kumar Reddy at the crease, a shot from Suryakumar accidentally struck Nitish at the non-striker’s end, causing a brief pause in the game as the players regrouped. The team aims to regain momentum and strengthen their position.
Suryakumar’s Shot Strikes Nitish at Non-Striker’s End:
In the final delivery of the fourth over, Taskin Ahmed bowled to Suryakumar Yadav, who drove the ball forcefully at a speed of 142.4 kph. Unfortunately, Nitish Reddy, standing nearby, couldn’t dodge the shot in time and ended up getting struck on his right shoulder.
The physio quickly rushed onto the field to assess Nitish’s condition. Fortunately, after a brief examination, he was able to move his arm without any issues, indicating that he would be fit to continue playing. The incident highlighted the intensity of the match, as players had to stay alert to avoid potential injuries in such fast-paced situations.
In the sixth over of the innings, Mustafizur Rahman struck for Bangladesh, dismissing Suryakumar Yadav with a well-executed slower ball. Bowled at 116.9 kph, the delivery featured Mustafizur’s signature cutter that held its line on length. Suryakumar, attempting to drive, misjudged the timing and ended up hitting the ball directly to Shanto stationed at mid-off.
