Former opener Sadagopan Ramesh slams Team India for overconfidence with bat 2026 T20 World Cup vs. USA In Mumbai. Despite having a formidable batting line-up on paper and in form, the United hosts slipped to an embarrassing 77/6 in the 13th over.

Some batsmen hit the ball at ill-timed times only to be caught in the circle or deep. However, captain Suryakumar Yadav saved indian team An outstanding 49-ball 84* helped them achieve a competitive record of 161/9 in the 20 overs.

Ramesh on India’s chaotic batting performance in T20 World Cup opener his YouTube channel:

“India did not perform to their potential but the bowlers corrected the batsmen’s mistakes. It was sheer overconfidence that led to India’s disappointing batting. Even if you are a lion with the bat, you cannot expect your opponents to surrender to you. To conquer, you have to put in some effort.”

He added:

“Despite having incredible talent, India have to put in the right amount of effort but not overdo it. It’s important that India don’t underestimate any team. If India slip up in this World Cup, that will be the reason. But it’s good that they got a wake-up call in the first game. From now on, India will be careful, as we have seen with the ball.”

The Indian bowlers did not disappoint as much as the batsmen as they restricted the United States to 132/8, helping the team to a comfortable 29-run victory.

“If Suryakumar Yadav doesn’t perform, India will be doomed” – Sadagopan Ramesh

Sadaopan Ramesh thinks Suryakumar Yadav The knock saved India from a humiliating defeat at the hands of the United States in Mumbai. The captain overcame a regular wicket that fell from the other end to produce a knock that lasted for a long time.

“India have frightened a lot of teams in T20Is recently. But today the tide went against them and they were forced to sweat. If Suryakumar Yadav had not performed, India would have been doomed. India reached 160 only because he started slowly and accelerated quickly at the end. If the US picks up Suriya, then 160 will be a distant dream,” said Ramesh (from the source mentioned above).

Suriya’s heroics ensured India extended their T20 World Cup winning streak to a record nine games. The Men in Blue will be looking to make it ten consecutive wins in their second Group A match against Namibia in Delhi on February 12.
