Captain Suryakumar Yadav rescued India from an almighty scare and ensured the T20 World Cup co-hosts opened their tournament with a 29-run victory over the United States in Mumbai.
After being put into bat, the defending champions and overwhelming favourites slumped to 77-6, risking one of the biggest shocks in cricket history and one of the biggest upsets in any sport.
The India captain countered the situation brilliantly with an unbeaten 84 off 49 balls, starting cautiously before unleashing thrilling scoops and flicks to guide the hosts to 161-9.
That denied the underdogs any momentum, and India’s seamers Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj took three wickets in the first four overs of the chase, reducing the US to 13-3.
India now shifts its focus to their upcoming match against Namibia on Friday at 1.30am.
