However, the cricketer-turned commentator and professional mentioned it may be a case of the crew placing an excessive amount of strain on themselves and overthinking within the big-ticket video games.”Think about the choker remark the fact is that India has not won a knockout game in the ICC events since 2013.

We have spoken a lot about that no-ball. Then, in the West Indies Wankhede game (2016 T20 World Cup), the toss played a crucial role. 180 (192) was not a bad score, but the dew factor and all that played a role,” he added.”There is a reason behind every game, we need to look into them individually.

I also think it is something that they shouldn’t be thinking about.”At instances, when these numbers come up, you are inclined to put strain on your self by making an attempt to show the numbers improper. I hope they aren’t occupied with it. I hope they’re conscious of this. I’m not too positive whether or not they’re occupied with it, I have never spoken to them about it.
