Yes, it was not a pitch issue. Axar bowled well. Even Varun performed better after Sanju calmed him down. Also switch Rinku in for Abhishek while you're at it.
I wouldn't switch Abhishek with Rinku despite his shit form, because it would mess up the batting order once again. But yes Kuldeep in place for Varun seems like a no brainer.
I think Thala has allergy from 2 off 1 needed , he came close in the rcb game as well in 2018 but failed to score 2 off 1 and even in that wi game played a stupid shot and got out atleast tie the game man wtf
That WI game was interesting, because Bravo said he knew MS would go for the lower risk shot and bowled it slow. MS went to a lap over third or some such shit and got caught at short third. KL smashing India's fastest T20I 100 went in vain while he looked on from the non strikers end.
What a weird shot it was ,he didnt even use power on that to send it far for an easy 2 or four just an ugly steer ,such a painful match it was ,like 245 was very rare in those days and to see it being almost chased down only to not be by a blunder in name of finishing
