As previously stated, captain Santner’s decision to bring in spinners early in the game is an unusual strategy, despite the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium’s pitch favouring the ‘pacers’ tonight.
According to the analysis, Bracewell was called in for Ishan Kishan, who struggles to settle when spinners dominate early overs, leaving no time for Ishan to create a comfort zone for big shots.
Santner’s plan ultimately worked as Ishan Kishan fumbled in playing against Bracewell and the LBW decision by Nitin Menon remained “OUT” despite Ishan Kishan opting for DRS.
