England’s performance in the ODI World Cup 2023 versus India was disappointing as they faced each other on October 29 at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium. Indian bowlers were well in containing 229 runs, but Mohammed Shami’s outstanding performance was most noticeable as he claimed four vital wickets. After calling Shami’s over against Ben Stokes the “Over of the Tournament,” former cricketer Aakash Chopra expressed his continued admiration for his period. With some outstanding deliveries, Shami set up Ben Stokes, who made no runs until he was finally removed from the game on the last ball of the eighth over.
Mohammed Shami’s over to Ben Stokes, according to Aakash Chopra, host of JioCinema’s daily sports show “#AAKASHVANI,” was the “Over of the tournament.”
“One had to be cautious given that India only submitted 229 entries overall. Later on, dew became a significant component that we also had to consider. However, it was evident how perfectly the Indian pacers bowled. They were severely weakened when Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah took early, crucial wickets. I considered Shami’s over to be the “Over of the tournament,” as he bowled Ben Stokes around the stumps. Overall, the bowling team performed as a cohesive unit and completely destroyed England’s batting order.
Why Rohit Sharma isn’t given more recognition still eludes me: Chopra Aakash
Chopra went on to discuss the performance of Rohit Sharma and the other batting order members against England. “I still don’t understand why Rohit Sharma isn’t given more credit after leading from the front once more. When you are losing wickets at the other end, it is difficult to continue your innings. He did, however, play a crucial knock. KL Rahul, who was also appearing in fantastic form, and Suryakumar Yadav entered the game and contributed to stabilizing it, but Rahul lost his wicket due to a weak shot.
