Smriti Mandhana takes blame for India’s heart-breaking loss vs England | Women’s World Cup

‘The emotions took over’ – Smriti Mandhana ka bara aitraaf

Indore mein kheley gaye Women’s World Cup ke ek thrilling match mein England ke khilaf Bharat ki batting collapse (batting breakdown) ne fans ko mayoos kar diya. Smriti Mandhana, jinhone 88 runs ki shandaar innings kheli, ne is shikast ki zimmedari apne sar le li hai.

Jab Bharat ko jeet ke liye 57 runs ki darkaar thi aur 7 wickets baqi thi, toh lag raha tha ke match Bharat ki mutthi mein hai. Lekin, 42th over mein Mandhana ke out hone ke baad match ka paasa palat gaya. Mandhana ne press conference mein maana ke unki shot selection (shot choice) ghalat thi.

Emotions ka khel mein dakhal

Mandhana ne kaha: ‘Emotions took over’. Unhone maana ke unhone patience (sabr) ka muzahira karne ke bajaye jaldbazi dikhayi. ‘Maine socha main us bowler (Sophie Ecclestone) par attack kar sakti hoon, lekin woh shot zaruri nahi tha. Mujhe mazeed sabr se kaam lena chahiye tha.’

Jemimah Rodrigues ko bahar rakhne ka faisla

Team combination par baat karte hue Mandhana ne wazeh kiya ke Jemimah Rodrigues ko bahar rakh kar extra bowler (Renuka Singh) ko shamil karna ek mushkil faisla tha. ‘Humare paas aise batters nahi hain jo bowling bhi kar sakein, isliye flat tracks par 5 bowlers kafi nahi lag rahe thay,’ unhone mazeed kaha.

Deepti Sharma ka azeem karkardagi

Is mushkil match mein bhi, Deepti Sharma ne 4/51 ki behtareen bowling ki aur 150 ODI wickets lene wali dusri Bhartiya khilari ban gayin. Mandhana ne unki tareef karte hue kaha, ‘Deepti ka all-round capacity (all-round ability) aur game ko samajhne ka andaaz la-jawab hai.’

Bharat ki team ko ab agle matches mein apni ghaltiyon se seekh kar wapsi karni hogi. Kya yeh haar World Cup campaign ka turning point (mod) sabit hogi? Yeh waqt hi bataye ga!
