In the first T20 match against Australia, the Indian team, who batted first, managed to lose even after accumulating 208 runs in 20 overs. The Indian team failed to score a difficult target of 209 runs in Australia.
In this match, the Indian team lost in both the bowling and fielding of the Indian team. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel, the important fast bowlers of the Indian team, combined to score 101 runs in 8 overs. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar scored 52 runs in 4 overs and Harshal Patel scored 49 runs in 4 overs, both of them remained wicketless.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled the 19th over and gave away 16 runs in that over. The match was almost over in that over. This is exactly what Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been doing continuously. That worries the Indian team.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar scored the most runs in the 19th over against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup as well. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who scored 19 runs in the 19th over against Pakistan, scored 14 runs in the 19th over in the match against Sri Lanka and ensured the victory of the opponents in the 19th over in both matches. The same thing happened in the match against Australia.
While Bhuvneshwar Kumar is seen as India’s key bowler in the T20 World Cup, his consistent poor bowling in the death overs is a cause for concern for the Indian team.

Sunil Gavaskar has spoken about this, there is no snow in Mohali. So it cannot be attributed. Indian bowlers are not bowling well. The 19th over continues to be a big problem for the Indian team. Bhuvneshwar Kumar delivers consecutive runs in the 19th over every time. With huge expectations on him, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has given 49 runs off 18 balls in the last 3 overs of the 19th over. He has given 3 runs per ball. This is too much for his experience. Gavaskar commented that this is the biggest problem of the Indian team.
