Team India would not have even thought that in the final of T20 World Cup 2024, their batsman, who had the most responsibility, would leave them. Batting first in the final against South Africa, Team India lost the wickets of captain Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant in the beginning, when Suryakumar came to the crease. On such an occasion, Team India was expecting a big innings from Surya, but this time it could not happen and he got out early. The most disappointing thing was that the reason for Surya's dismissal was his love.
In the final played in Bridgetown, Barbados, Team India suffered a double blow in the second over itself.
Keshav Maharaj first took the wicket of Indian captain Rohit Sharma after conceding 2 consecutive fours. Then on the last ball of the over, he also took the wicket of Rishabh Pant. Team India lost 2 wickets for just 23 runs. At such a time, Team India was expecting a big innings from Suryakumar Yadav, just like he played against England in the semi-finals.Suryakumar wanted to do the same and as always, he wanted to try to get a boundary without waiting too long. Now it is often seen that Surya starts his innings by playing a scoop shot behind the wicket, which he often converts into a boundary but this time it did not happen.
Surya tried to play the same scoop on Kagiso Rabada's short ball but this time he failed and Heinrich Klaasen took a brilliant catch by diving at deep fine leg. This time Surya could score only 3 runs in 4 balls.Virat Kohli, who had been continuously failing throughout the tournament, finally scored a half-century in the final. Amidst early wickets falling, Kohli played an innings of 76 runs and played an important role in taking the team to a good score.
However, Kohli's innings was very slow and he scored these runs in 59 balls, in which he reached the half-century in 48 balls. However, Kohli's innings was very slow and he scored these runs in 59 balls, in which he reached the half-century in 48 balls.
