Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja struck early to give India a fine start after captain Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bowl versus Scotland in their fourth match in the Super 12 game of the T20 World Cup 2021 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. After losing openers George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer to pacers, Jadeja jolted the batting side with two wickets in a single over. Earlier, India made one change as they brought back Varun Chakaravarthy in place of Shardul Thakur, while Scotland went in unchanged. After enduring two back-to-back defeats in the first two matches vs Pakistan and New Zealand, India bounced back to hammer Afghanistan by 66 runs and open their account. However, their challenge will be to register another convincing victory against the Scottish side in order to better their net run-rate going ahead into the tournament. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Virat Kohli said during Toss, “We are going to bowl first. Dew is going to be a big factor. Try and restrict them and chase it down. Winning my first toss on my birthday, probably we should have played the first game on my birthday (smiles). The intensity from ball one is important. For us, it’s just about keeping that intensity on for 20 overs. That’s something we expect from people. Shardul makes way for Varun – third spinner.”
