A dreadful white-ball tour has concluded for Team India. It started with a historic 0-2 defeat to Ireland and has ended with a proper hammering at Lord’s. At no point was India ahead in the game. They were chasing the ball from the moment Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out with a knee injury.
Jacob Bethell turned out to be the tormentor-in-chief for India. The opener smashed 91 off 93, putting on a mammoth 192-run stand for the first wicket. However, it was his exploits with the ball that turned the game in England’s favour. India were cruising towards the 388-run target. They were 213/1 in 32 overs, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli well-set.
His spell, 49/1 in 7 overs, proved to be the major difference. He sucked the air out of the chase, with Rohit, Kohli, Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul all failing to smash him out of the park. The part-time left-arm orthodox spinner fared better than Adil Rashid and Will Jacks, the two frontline spinners.
He also spoiled Rohit’s party. There was a lot of speculation around him retiring after the India vs England 3rd ODI, but the veteran opener played an all-time classic at Lord’s. He was India’s highest scorer of the day, 138 off 110. Although Kohli and Shubman Gill struck half-centuries as well, Rohit was the driving force in the chase.
The moment he departed, things went sideways for India. And guess what? It was Bethell who dismissed him. Sam Curran too was unplayable. His changes of pace left the batter neither here nor there. In the end, England won the match by 27 runs, but the game was over by the 39th over.
