Keemo Paul, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

3.1

Keemo Paul to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, the Indians have definitely decided to flick the switch. Just as you wondered if the curator heard the cries of the bowlers and left some life in the pitch for them, the batters have again shown their ruthless nature. Fullish delivery on the stumps, Ishan slogs and whipes it over mi-wicket

STAT: The last instance that India didn't hit a single boundary within the first two overs of their innings in a T20I was against Afghanistan in Bengaluru in January 2024. This is their 77th T20I post that game.

3.2

Keemo Paul to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, poor from Keemo Paul. India definitely trying to pounce on the new bowler. You got to question why Hope removed Shamar after such a good over. Slot ball, Ishan gets gets under it and lofts it over mid-on and it almost goes all the way

3.6

Keemo Paul to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, in the airrr, tease for mid-off and it evades the jump. Full and asking for punishmetn again, seemed like Ishan was slightly early into the shot and it's powered for four more

Keemo Paul to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, to long-off

4.2

Shamar Springer to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, short and wide outside off stump, Ishan reaches out and cuts to deep point. With every passing ball, that move to remove Shamar off the attack after one over is getting worse

IND 50-1(4.2) CRR:11.54

Keemo Paul to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, pace off but it sat up. A proper slap straight down the ground past the non-striker for four

6.4

Keemo Paul to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, he's hit a difficult low full toss easily for four. Smart to open the bat face knowing there is no third man and the moment

7.3

Gudakesh Motie to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, full toss! Replacing Akeal, Motie has to get it absolutely right and this will not please the captain. Abhishek opens up to help it away behind square on the leg-side for an easy six
