The Indian cricket team, which is touring Sri Lanka, is participating in a series of 3 T20 and 3 ODI matches. In this, India won the T20 series by 43 runs in the first match which started from 27th and in the second match by 7 wickets and won the series by 2-0.
In this situation, the 3rd and last T20 cricket match between India and Sri Lanka was held at Ballakele last Sunday (July 30) night. Batting first, India scored only 137 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs.
Sri Lanka then batted and scored the same 137 runs, losing 8 wickets in 20 overs. This resulted in a draw. Because of this, the Super Over method was adopted to decide the winner. Washington Sundar bowled for India in the Super Over. Indian team won this super over. With this victory, India won the 3-match T20I series against Sri Lanka 3-0.
In this case, Sri Lanka needed 9 runs in the last over to win this match. At that time, Khalil Ahmed and Mohammad Siraj, who had already bowled 3 overs, were not given an over. Instead, Ringu Singh, who had not bowled an over till then, bowled the 19th over and captain Suryakumar Yadav bowled the 20th.
Ringu Singh, who bowled the 19th over, conceded only 3 runs and took 2 wickets. Similarly, captain Suryakumar, who bowled the last over, conceded 5 runs and took 2 wickets. In a match that Sri Lanka should have easily won, the duo bowled deftly to keep India alive. In the end they helped the Indian team to complete the series.
In this situation, netizens are praising the new head coach Gautham Gambhir for allowing Ringu Singh and captain Suriyakumar to bowl and encouraging them. Netizens have been flying memes stating that only he can take such decisions at a critical moment and that Ringu Singh, Suryakumar and Ryan Barrack, who conceded only 27 runs in 4 overs, will crawl like the next legends like Muttiah Muralitharan, Anil Kumble and Shane Warne.

Who will defend 9 runs from last 2 overs? Siraj or Khaleel?
