India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: 3 Reasons why India lost the high scoring encounter

#2 Five bowlers combination

Jasprit Bumrah and Chahal

Honestly, five exact bowlers in a T20 match is too much risk for any captain. Most teams always prefer having multiple bowling options to operate in the middle overs. But, India stuck to their five-bowler theory and lost the match.

If any bowler has a bad day on the field, a captain needs a sixth bowler to help control the damage. With only five bowlers, a captain has no other option to complete the quota of overs even though the bowler is going for plenty of runs.

Had India played another spare all-rounder in place of a proper batsman, he could have come in handy to reduce the burden and ease the tension of another bowler. Frankly, Kohli needs to look at 6-7 bowling options in his playing eleven. India's star spinner Chahal conceded 47 runs in 4 over and the fast bowler Siddarth Kaul conceded 45 runs. Indian captain not had much options to go for the sixth bowler.
