Talking about cricket, then the southpaw couldn’t perform up to the expectations with the bat in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022. Both his batting and wicketkeeping were under scrutiny and he was also receiving criticism for his approach towards the crucial games in the continental tournament.
After the conclusion of the three-match T20I series against Australia, the Indians will host the South African team for another bilateral clash of three T20Is. This series will be played just ahead of the 20-20 World Cup 2022.
Speaking of India’s performance in the Asia Cup 2022, then they were knocked out of the tournament after losing two consecutive matches in the super-4 round against Pakistan and then Sri Lanka.
