2018 Under-19 World Cup: India vs Zimbabwe, 5 talking points

Anukul Roy continues to impress

Anukul Roy starred yet again

After picking up 5/14 in 6.5 overs against Papua New Guinea, spinner Anukul Roy continued with his fine form against Zimbabwe as well, picking up 4/20 in 7.1 overs.

His first wicket - that of Milton Shumba - came from a piece of clever bowling; wherein the bowler quickly gauged the batsman’s intent to come out of the crease after having hit a six in the previous delivery. True to his predictions, Shumba was deceived by the flight on the ball, and was outdone by the drift and the lack of spin on offer. Behind the stumps, Desai removed the bails in a flash and he was back to the pavilion.

The same over, he had Robert Chimhinya plumb in front; with the delivery keeping low and hitting him on the pads off an inside edge.

Roche departed off a quicker delivery and Nkosilathi Nungu hardly had any answers to the delivery swung across him and with his departure, the Zimbabwean innings folded up as well, but not before Roy produced yet another impressive performance.
