IND beat NAM Highlights: The spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja & R Ashwin along with both the openers – Rohit Sharma & KL Rahul – helped India register an emphatic 9 wickets victory over Namibia here in Dubai in the final Super 12 round fixture of the T20 World Cup 2021.

IND beat NAM Highlights: Clinical India give winning tribute to Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri with thumping 9-wicket win against Namibia

Put into bat Namibia were off to a good start as both the openers S Baard and M Lingen added 31 runs for the first wicket. The Men In Blue, however, tasted the first success in the fifth over when Jasprit Bumrah removed M Lingen to provide the first breakthrough.

The spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin then proved out ‘too hot to handle’ for Namibia as they accounted for six wickets together in the middle overs. Jadeja and Ashwin both picked three wickets each while Jasprit Bumrah returned with 2-19 in his four overs as Namibia managed 132/8 in the allotted overs. For Namibia, David Wiese was the top scorer with 26 off 25 deliveries.

Coming to chase, Rohit Sharma dominated the run chase and took India to a flying start along with KL Rahul. Both the openers added 54 runs in the powerplay before Rohit Sharma shifted gears and slammed a quickfire fifty.

Namibia got a sigh of relief after Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Jan Frylinck in the tenth over but Surya Kumar Yadav along with KL Rahul guided the side home in just 15.2 overs. KL Rahul returned unbeaten on 54 while Surya Kumar Yadav scored 25* off 19 deliveries.

@16:55 – ICYMI – From India’s last outing against the Scots

Kohli – Shastri Era Ends – No ICC Trophy for the duo: India have failed to lift an ICC Trophy during Kohli & Shastri reign.

For Kohli, who is all set to even lose his ODI captaincy in the coming days, this wasn’t how he would have liked to end his T20 captaincy stint with the national team having already quit IPL captaincy.

  • It is the first time since the 2013 Champions Trophy that an Indian men’s team has failed to reach at least the semi-final stage of an ICC event.
  • They were champions in the 50 over Champions Trophy in 2013, followed by runners-up finish in T20 World Cup in 2014.
  • In the 2015 ODI World Cup, the team lost in the semifinals. The 2016 T20 World Cup saw them reach the last four stages while they lost to Pakistan in the 2017 final of the 50-over Champions Trophy.
  • In 2019, their ODI World Cup campaign ended in the semi-final and the two-year-long World Test Championship also ended in a final defeat.

Despite the disappointments in ICC Events, Ravi Shastri’s coaching saw India Test team beat Australia twice in their backyard, tie Test series (ongoing) against England and challenge South Africa and New Zealand in the limited-overs format.

In his coaching, India have won 13 out of 21 Tests, 43 out of 60 ODIs and 25 T20 Internationals out of 36 on his watch.

IND vs NAM LIVE: Virat Kohli bids adieu to T20I captaincy- check India captain’s report card

IND vs NAM LIVE – Where did India go wrong this T20 World Cup? A combination of factors led to this debacle and if Kohli’s poor captaincy and selection is one factor, the problems were certainly compounded by players like Hardik Pandya, who did not reveal the full extent of their fitness status to the national selectors.

While Pandya did show his original self against Afghanistan, he would get very little credit for that performance after failing to score as a pure batter against quality attacks like Pakistan and New Zealand.

India lost two crucial tosses, batted awfully in slightly, if not very, testing conditions and then on a dew-laden surface bowled atrociously.’ It was as if the heavens had conspired that nothing should go well for the team after it had a great run in England. And that is something that will hurt Shastri, a proud man, who has done his bit to make this a formidable all-condition Test team with a lethal fast bowling attack.

It is still not clear whether Kohli will be seen as a one-format captain in Test matches but his performance in the last four ICC tournaments leave a lot to be desired.

Now that he is approaching mid-30s and showing signs of playing a conservative game, one can only hope that with eleven months left for the next T20 World Cup, India would start with a fresh slate and fresher approach.
