Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was full of praise for India after their eight-wicket victory over New Zealand in the third T20I of the five-match series in Guwahati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on JioHotstar as quoted in NDTV Sports, Gavaskar termed India a champion side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook at everything, not just the batting. Their bowling, their catching, their outfielding \u2013 they were a champion side. What do we do against this side? How do we stop this side? This is a side to beat. This is a side that will take some beating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India completely outplayed the Kiwis in the third match. The \u2018Men in Blue\u2019 won the toss and elected to bowl first. Courtesy of Jasprit Bumrah\u2019s figures of 3\/17 at an economy rate of 4.25 and Ravi Bishnoi\u2019s 2\/18, India restricted New Zealand to 153\/9 in their 20 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In reply, India lost Sanju Samson early, and Ishan Kishan could not capitalise on his start. However, from there, Abhishek Sharma and captain Suryakumar Yadav took the aggressive route and finished the match with 10 overs to spare. Abhishek missed Yuvraj Singh\u2019s record of the fastest 12-ball fifty, as the young left-hander remained unbeaten on 68 off 20 balls, while Suryakumar was not out on 57 off 26 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking about Abhishek\u2019s knock, Gavaskar said: \u201cGetting to a fifty that quickly is very tough. But what Abhishek has been showing over the last many matches is that he\u2019s capable of doing that. One time he\u2019s done it in 14 deliveries, another time in 16, so he\u2019s getting there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
