Suryakumar Yadav Reveals India's 'Purposeful' Six-Batter Strategy in 4th T20I
- •India played with six batters and five specialist bowlers in the 4th T20I against New Zealand in Visakhapatnam.
- •The decision backfired as India lost by 50 runs, failing to chase New Zealand's 215/7.
- •Suryakumar Yadav explained the strategy was to challenge the team, especially in chasing high totals with early wickets down.
- •The team wanted to test how they perform when 2-3 batters get out early while chasing 180-200 runs.
- •Shivam Dube scored a quickfire 65 off 23 balls, but lacked support from other batters.
Why It Matters: Suryakumar Yadav stated India intentionally played six batters to challenge the team's chasing ability.
