Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant
KL Rahul (50) scored a brilliant shot as India beat Scotland by 8 wickets in the Super 12 of the ICC T20 World Cup on Friday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here. Batting first, the Scotland team scored 85 runs in 17.4 overs for the loss of 10 wickets. In response, chasing runs, the Indian team completed the goal in 6.3 overs losing two wickets. India’s inaugural pair, Rohit Sharma and Rahul, once again made an excellent partnership of 70 runs on 30 balls.
Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets for 15 runs in her four-overs spell. He was also awarded Player of the Match. Jadeja said after the game: “It was fun bowling on this field, a lot of balls were spinning. The first wicket was special. Whenever you have a batter on a spinning ball, it’s special. We are just good.” I wanted to play cricket. If we keep playing like this, nobody will be able to beat us. In the T20s, we have to play like this. “
Indian team captain Virat Kohli expressed his happiness after the match, saying: “It was a very good performance. As in the previous match, we also achieved our goal this time. We understood how important the draw is, we won the draw and we move on. ” We were thinking about 120 or 130, but it was good that Scotland didn’t even get to 100. We had the net run rate in mind and we followed it. As for hitting in the practice game, we played well in Powerplay there, we just wanted the hitters to do their job by bowling well. Shami did well, not just the players on the entire team. When it comes to my birthday, my family is with me, I have my team with me, so that’s absolutely what matters to me. “

After suffering a crushing defeat, Scotland captain Coetzer said: “Today was a difficult day, India has beaten us in all respects. But we will try to learn from matches like this. Mark Watt has the skills. He has the other here. It is good to see them learn from the spinners and that is why these tournaments are important to us. “
