These Things Happened again at the Wankhede Stadium
Since 2011
World Cup Final, It has been a tough task for the bowlers to resist the batsmen
in the 2nd innings at Wankhede.
In the 2011
World Cup final, India batted 2nd and was the better side, but the story was not same in yesterday’s
match against New Zealand & the 2016 T20 world cup semi-finals against West
Indies(now Windies). In both of the
mentioned matches, India had good scores on the board but failed to defend it.
The batsmen in the 2nd Innings were unstoppable in the 2nd
Innings. Yeah, there were dropped chances, but the way it happens most of the
times in Wankhede, it is magic for me. This magic may be the cause of the hot
and humid conditions there, causing sweat in the fielders’ hands.
It has also
happened in the IPL many times. We have seen Mumbai Indians winning from
nowhere at the Wankhede, batting second
Records
falling in Love with Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli
surpassed Ricky Ponting’s 30 One Day International centuries and is now only
second to the great cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar (49 ODI Centuries) in the
list of players having ODI centuries.
This is not
the only record created by Virat Kohli yesterday. Now, Kohli has the most
number of runs as an Indian ODI captain in a particular year(2017).
This
century made by Kohli against New Zealand was first ODI century scored by an
Indian batsman since 1996 at Wankhede stadium, Mumbai, Maharashtra.
India
loses a match unexpectedly after being
no.1 in the last Series
India’s
loss to New Zealand is not a big deal. India usually get these types of wakeup calls when they are at the top of the
table. It has also happened in this year’s Champions Trophy. But the good thing
is that India has always learned from these
wake-up calls and this time, they are
also going to do the same.
Win and
loss are parts of every sport. If we love someone, then we should support them at their bad
times.
