India Poor Performance With Bat

 India went on to chase the target of 171 but it seemed they have lack in approch. Where India lost Sanju early who tried to apply pull shot but didn't get connected. The pace of the ball deceived him. Every batsman tried to imply the shot on the slowy pitch and got out cheaply. Hardik tried his best to get the command but couldn't hold on. Captain Surya poor form, Tilak getting out on spin which get back in to the stumps. Till 15th over India had the hope of chase but lack of intent at the later stages costed the match for India. 

Poor Intent

It was clearly visible that India were in lack of intent throught the game. At first innings they were unable to bowled out England despite having a good start. In the second innings same thing happened where started the innings poorly and later on they builded up but the intent was too conjusty, As everyone was trying to hit hard rather than understanding the nature of pitch. 

Misunderstanding The Aggressive Approach

Its ok to show the aggressive approach in a t20 game it is meant for it. But sometime you have to understand the nature of the game and how the game progress. At first innings India took out early  six wickets but after that they didn't went for the kill allowed England to score a decent total. In the second innings batsman were trying to hit the ball hard rather than understanding what the pitch is offering. England bowlers were consistent with their hard length deleviries making hard for the Indian batting. Which was later pointed out by the captain Surya Kumar Yadav.
