Rohit Sharma’s call to bowl first on that sticky red soil was pure class, yaar! Pulling Tiwary in for the death overs showed why the Impact Player rule is a game-changer, no doubt.
Sharma’s bench swap for Tiwary changes my T20 strategy big time; that left-right pairing against New Zealand’s wrist-spinners looks like a 12-18 point fantasy gap.
The dew factor wasn’t the real issue here; it was the new ball’s seam movement on the red soil that justified the fielding choice, changing the bowling dynamic completely.
@Rohit_Paltan99 Agreed, but the 12% drop in boundary percentage for New Zealand really backs up that left-right pairing strategy from the data section.
