T20 WC: Being 77/6 In Mumbai Was A Nice Shake-up And Wake-up Call For India, Says Ten Doeschate
T20 World Cup: India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said his side had embraced the responsibility of defending their T20 World Cup crown and were adjusting to the challenges of tournament cricket after a shaky start in Mumbai, which he felt was a nice wake-up and shake-up call for them.
At the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai last week, India, the defending champions and hot favourites, were reduced to 77/6 by USA, as they threatened to inflict a seismic upset in the sport. But skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who was dropped on 15, staged a rescue act by hitting a brilliant 84 not out off 49 balls to take India to 161/9.
Fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj took three wickets in the first four overs to reduce the USA to 13/3 and eventually kept them to 132/8 in their 20 overs and open their campaign with a win.
