Why England beat India in ICC T20 semi-final

England beat India comprehensively in the semis.??England won the toss and decided to make first use of the bowl.?

After the match, Kapil Dev very rightly pointed out that Indians are chockers.?

Before the start of the match, Sunil Gavaskar placed a valid point that Indians chase well than set target.?

I personally attributed India’s defeat to ‘Law of Average’ over any other pointer.??One bad day in office and India is out of the ICC World Cup.

There are some valid questions on the selection of the side.?

1)?????What is the utility of Axar Patel in the side???Is he fits into T-20 side, if yes, on what basis – batting or bowling or in the category of bits and pieces player.??He is neither a free flowing batsman, nor spins the ball judiciously.

2)?????What is Ashwin’s contribution in the side???Batsmen take him for sixers at will.???He is effective only on turning tracks.??

3)?????Rohit Sharma being the captain of the side performed little in terms of batting.??How can a non-performing captain lead from the front?

4)?????In this match, both Bhuvi and Arshdeep were not disciplined in line and length and gave room invariably to batsman to play freely.?????

England Captain Butler, once settled, scores heaps of runs and India does not have the arsenal to get his scalp.?

Indians batted poorly during first 6 overs and scored only 36 runs for the loss of KL Rahul.??Another noticeable fact is Kohli does not score as quickly as Hardik or Surya K Yadav.?

Making mockery of Kartik vs Pant selection does not leave a good taste and is not a healthy sign for their confidence.??As if this is a musical chair game for them.?

One more selection error which could have strengthened Indian batting was non-inclusion of specialist batsman Hooda in place of bits and pieces Axar Patel.

In nut-shell, India lost the match because of their own selection errors.?
