19 of the innings seem to have fallen behind the Indian team. In the second T20 match being played between India and Sri Lanka, fast bowler Arshdeep Singh expended a total of 18 runs in the 19th innings off the ball. Wasting runs in the over 19 has been a problem for the Indian team for a long time. This issue also arose against Team India in the T20 World Cup held in 2022. Now again, 19 of the entries have fallen behind the team. In such a situation, the Indian team should think about this.
Earlier, in the first T20 match played against Sri Lanka at Wankhede, the 19th innings had become a problem for the team. 16 runs were expended in the 19 for the Indian innings of that match. In that match, fast bowler Harshal Patel bowled 19. At the same time, Arshdeep Singh, who joined the team as his replacement in this match, bowled 19 overs and that too proved costly.
Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka appeared once again with excellent pace against the Indian team. In this match, he played an unbeaten innings of 56 runs on 22 balls. His innings included 2 fours and 6 sixes. During this, his unemployment rate was 254.55. In the previous match too, he played a breakneck innings of 45 runs on 27 balls aided by 3 fours and 3 sixes. Shanaka has so far played 5 innings against the Indian team in T20 International. He has crossed the 30-run mark in each of his innings and has scored two half centuries. He so far he has scored 255 runs against India at a strike rate of 205.64.
