Twenty20 World Cup 2022, AustraliaDreams break more than they make up. The same game of hopes and apprehensions plays out in life, and in the game of cricket as well. India’s Australian dream came to an end. With the dream of Sharmaji’s son, the Australian Twenty20 World Cup dream of crores of cricket lovers also got shattered. India’s dream of victory was shattered in front of England’s Butler and Hales’ swashbuckling batting. England knocked India out of the Twenty20 World Cup while batting at the Adelaide ground. Destroyed India’s bowling.
In excitement, the cricket-loving public was convinced that India was going to win the world without playing the semi-finals. Just as everyone’s day comes in life, so was the day of Butler and Helms. The Indian team was also made spectator of the batting of Butler and Hales on the Adelaide ground. It seemed that Butler and Hales were not washing the Indian bowlers but the bowlers who had come to practice in the net-practice. It did not seem that two equal teams reaching the semi-finals after winning the World Cup are playing.
England won the toss and elected to bowl. India wanted to bat even after winning the toss. England made them do the same. Adelaide’s pitch was considered good for batting. There was not even a mere name of grass on the pitch. It was believed that the bowling would have to come only to eat. India’s start was difficult as KL Rahul could not last long. Rohit, who seemed buoyant with the deal, could not last long, and was given an easy catch on a high-rising ball. After that India would either save the wicket or score runs. It took only to save the wicket.
Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya played well and forged the necessary partnership. Due to these two, India could honor their game in the semi-finals. In the end, Pandya played a brilliant and tremendous shot. Due to both, India reached a respectable score. Felt that if you field properly with good bowling, then this score can be fought. But Butler was in the mood to make a different dish. Together with Hales, both of them are competing to play the highest and longest shot. Any relief from India’s bowlers, and fielders did not get any chance. The husk was removed by hitting the balls. Butler and Hales did not even give the batsman a chance to step towards any side of England. Surprised the team of India, and to the extent of frustrating the Indians. Everyone’s faces hanged. dreams are broken
The Indian team diligently worked hard for the World Cup. That’s why it’s natural to be disappointed when you lose. But in the game of captivating uncertainties, cricket cannot be a sure victory for anyone. Keep watching the game. Keep dreaming too.
