Poori Baat Samjho
T20 cricket, jaise IPL mein, captain log apne bowlers ka pura istemal karna chahte hain 20 overs mein. Hardik Pandya aur Mitchell Santner jaise all-rounders team ke liye bade assets hote hain, kyunki woh bat aur ball dono se dhamal machate hain. Hardik fast bowling karta hai, uske paas tez aur chalaak deliveries hain, aur Santner ek left-arm spinner hai jo run rate control karta hai aur spin-friendly pitches pe kamaal dikhata hai. In dono ke sirf chaar overs daal ne ka matlab hai MI ne ek bada mauka chhod diya, khaas kar jab Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ka Shreyas Iyer middle mein khel raha tha, jiska batting style ne shayad MI ke plan ko badal diya.
Kya Hua, Kya Galti Thi
- Bade Players Ka Kam Istemal:
- Hardik, jo MI ka captain bhi hai aur ek top all-rounder, usse normally poore chaar overs daalne chahiye, khaas kar jab match tight ho. Uska cutter, bouncer, aur slower ball middle ya death overs mein kamaal kar sakta hai. Uske ek ya do overs daalne ka matlab MI ne uski wicket lene ki ya run rokne ki power ko waste kiya.
- Santner ek world-class spinner hai, jo middle overs mein run rate ko rok sakta hai aur galti karwa sakta hai. Uska economy rate T20 mein zabardast hota hai. Usko poora nahi khilana matlab MI ne ek aisa bowler waste kiya jo KKR ke batsmen, even Iyer, ko pareshan kar sakta tha.
- Shreyas Iyer Ka Darr:
- Shreyas Iyer, KKR ka captain aur ek solid right-hand batsman, spin ke against acha khelta hai aur innings ko set bhi karta hai. Uska middle mein hona shayad MI ke liye darr ban gaya, aur unhone Santner ko zyada overs nahi diye, yeh soch ke ki Iyer usko maar sakta hai. Lekin yeh darr wala approach ulta pad gaya, kyunki KKR ke batsmen doosre bowlers ke against set ho gaye aur game pe control banaya.
- Hardik ke overs bhi shayad isliye kam kiye, kyunki woh fitness ya form ke chakkar mein cautious tha, ya specific match-ups ke liye khud ko save kar raha tha.
- Tactical Galti:
- T20 mein captain ko har ball ke sath plan badalna padta hai. Agar Hardik aur Santner ne milke sirf chaar overs daale, toh MI ne doosre bowlers pe zyada depend kiya, jaise frontline pacers ya kam experience wale spinners, jo shayad utne effective nahi the. Isse KKR ne game ke important moments mein advantage uthaya.
- Yeh bhi ho sakta hai ki Hardik ko Santner pe ya khud ke bowling pe poora bharosa nahi tha, jo ek badi captaincy mistake dikhata hai.
MI Ke Liye Kya Bura Hua
- Match Pe Asar: Hardik aur Santner ko kam use karne ki wajah se MI shayad KKR ke batting line-up pe pressure nahi daal paya. T20 mein middle overs mein wickets lena bohot zaroori hota hai, taaki partnerships toote aur run rate kam ho. Agar Iyer aur KKR ke batsmen ne iska fayda uthaya, toh unhone bada score set kiya ya chase kar liya, jo MI ke liye bura raha.
- Team Ka Balance: MI ki team all-rounders jaise Hardik aur Santner ke around banti hai, jo balance dete hain. Inka poora istemal na karna team ke plan ko weaken karta hai aur doosre bowlers, jaise Jasprit Bumrah, pe zyada pressure dalta hai.
- Hardik Ki Captaincy: Hardik, as captain, already IPL 2024 mein apni leadership aur form ke liye criticism face kar chuka hai. Yeh chaar overs wala scene uski tactical mistakes ko aur highlight karta hai, jo team ka morale aur fans ka mood kharab kar sakta hai.
MI Kya Behtar Kar Sakta Tha
- Santner Pe Bharosa: Iyer spin ke against acha khelta hai, lekin Santner ki accuracy aur variations se usko tight line se bandha ja sakta tha, jisse woh risk le aur galti kare. Agar Iyer score bhi karta, toh Santner runs rok sakta tha.
- Hardik Ka Smart Istemal: Hardik ko chhote, sharp spells mein use karna chahiye tha, jaise powerplay ya death overs mein, jahan uske variations kaam aate. Specific batsmen ko target karne ke liye bhi usko daal sakte the.
- Pitch Ke Hisaab Se Plan: Agar pitch pe turn ya uneven bounce tha, toh Santner ke chaar overs game changer ho sakte the. Hardik ke cutters bhi aisi pitch pe kaam aate.
- Bowling Ka Balance: MI ko apne bowlers ko better rotate karna chahiye tha, Hardik aur Santner ko frontline bowlers ke sath mix karke, taaki koi ek bowler zyada expose na ho.
Final Baat
Hardik Pandya aur Mitchell Santner ke sirf chaar overs daal ne ka matlab hai MI ne apne do bade players ko waste kiya, jisse Shreyas Iyer aur KKR ko game mein control mil gaya. Yeh tactical galti dikhati hai ki T20 mein bold decisions aur adaptability kitna zaroori hai. Hardik ko, as captain, apne bowlers pe zyada bharosa dikhana chahiye tha aur team ke resources ka poora fayda uthana chahiye tha. Aage aisi galti se bachne ke liye, MI ko apne key players ka full use karna hoga, chahe samne kitna bhi bada batsman kyun na ho.
