India put up a mammoth total of 255/5 when asked to bat first in the ultimate game of the T20 World Cup. The Men in Blue led by Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson took New Zealand by a storm and demolished their bowlers. Ishan Kishan joined in and continued the proceedings in the same way before Shivam Dube came up with his magic finishing touch.

The Indian bowlers were firing on all cylinders to defend their total and win back-to-back World Cups for India. Arshdeep Singh started off brilliantly and gave away just four runs in the opening over and almost took the wicket of Finn Allen had it not been a dropped catch from Shivam Dube. Tim Seifert attacked Hardik Pandya and scored 21 runs off the second over and put the pressure back on India.

In came Axar Patel in the third over who cleaned up Finn Allen this time and gave India the breakthrough. Jasprit Bumrah also joined the attack in the fourth over and took the wicket of Rachin Ravindra off the first ball, courtesy of a fantastic catch by Ishan Kishan. Indian fans should thank the almighty because Jasprit Bumrah plays for their nation. Hardik Pandya made a comeback and dismissed Mark Chapman.

Let us take a look at how users on the internet has reacted to India’s bowling so far.

Users on X (formerly Twitter) have hailed Suryakumar Yadav for bringing Axar Patel to take the wicket of Finn Allen which highlights how precisely the team management has planned for possible matchups and other tactical decisions.
