POBNEWS24, Dhaka Nov 1, 2021 :New Zealand lost a team like India in their own bowling! Who knows if leg spinner Ish Sodhi would expect such a gift on his birthday. However, there is no need to say that he is floating in excitement after receiving the gift.
After losing to India by 7 wickets, Sodhi came to pick up the matchmaker’s award as he said, ‘We wanted to win today’s match anyway. The way we won the game, tonight will be a big celebration.
Sodhi’s birthday is not just an occasion for a big celebration. Today he gave only 16 runs in 4 overs. He took two wickets.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, two pillars of Indian batting, have been dismissed for his bowling. Sodhi and New Zealand’s fame is not new. New Zealand also lost to India in the last T20 World Cup in 2016. Sodhi also took 3 wickets with 16 runs in that match.
Sodhi has a reputation for analyzing before a match. This leg-spinner enters the field only after dissecting the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent. Or did he do the same against India. Succeeded.
As he said at the end of the match, ‘I take a lot of preparation for the match. The field boundary of Dubai is different than that of Sharjah. A big part of our game was bowling in the middle overs with boundaries. I have succeeded in doing that today. ‘
