***Official***THE FINAL- India vs Australia - November 19th - Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad (D/N)

Because that wasn’t the right pitch for it . Even the pitch curator had said , this would be max 310-320 pitch . They asked for a turning track but underestimated Australian resilience and over estimated our middle order .
Yeah but like... he said he would have batted, in the moment. Not way after the fact. There was no real reason for him to think they had an issue at that point.

And that is exactly my second point : he overestimated our middle order on these pitches .
Before the Toss it was 60-40 match ( you can see I posted this exactly on 16 Nov ) . After the toss , it became 45-55 . And kudos to Australia , once they seized the advantage they didn’t IND let in ( except 20 overs PP1 both innings)

There is a massive, yawning chasm between "he misread the pitch slightly" (frankly I think everyone did based on what some of the Aus players have said) and "he straight up lied about what he would have done at the toss for some reason"

And I don’t believe IND would have won if this was a flat pitch and we batted first . Even in NZ game ( SF) our bowling was trash except Shami . Even if We had scored 350 , Aus might have chased in 47-48 over.

So pitch isn’t the excuse or toss . Aus had 40% chance of winning this game before toss and they converted it into 100 % by their planning and clutch game play .

So , you don’t believe Captains can say something they don’t believe in.
You mean fielder’s don’t lie about a bumped catch .
Should I post a video of Ponting and Steve Waugh lying about a bumped catch ?
Captains lie many times , sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally.

The only deluded fellow is you . Australian fans are more deluded than Indian fans . The only reason you are less observed because your population is 25 million and ours is 1.4 billion .
