Dinesh Karthik did what any go꧟od captain would. Backed his senior bowler but was let down again. Hope at least now look at Nagarkoti or Mavi.

Chasing when winning the toss is becoming both more common and more successful. T20 has a problem and may need to consider radical options- teams who loses the toss allowed to make 1 change; or even, perhaps, sealed bids to🔯 decide the toss
