Aakash Chopra highlights where India faltered in the 3rd T20 against Australia

Courtesy of Ruturaj Gaikwad's exceptional play, Team India got to the huge total of 222, but on the day it proved to be less, as Australia chased it down on the last ball, with 5 wickets in hand. While Suryakumar Yadav has started his captaincy stint on a positive note, winning the first two matches against Australia, but had to endure a setback in the third. As the analysis of the loss is in process, ex-Indian opener Aakash Chopra has highlighted the mistake from Surya's end that proved to be costly in the context of the match.

"Axar Patel bowled the 19th over. Prasidh Krishna was extremely expensive but he bowled the 18th and 20th overs. India still did not use six bowlers. Prasidh Krishna went for 68 runs but you got him to bowl because you didn't even try to use a sixth bowler."

Chopra further added that holding Axar Patel till the 19th error was a huge "error in calculation."

"Axar was bowling extremely well but you held him back for the 19th over. Why did you hold him back - I have got no idea. Huge error in calculation because you did not use a sixth bowler, got a spinner to bowl the 19th over, and Prasidh Krishna to bowl the 18th and 20th overs, and you got hit a lot."
