The match between India vs Nepal is going on and till now 37.5 overs have been bowled as this article is being written. Nepal got a brilliant start, but India was able to capitalize later on in the game. That was because of the depth in the bowling unit of the Indian team. The spearhead of the bowling department has been Ravindra Jadeja. He has made sure that he leads from the front in the absence of Bumrah. That is exactly what he has done. He has wiped out the whole middle order, to ensure that Nepal will not be able to reach the big total of the tournament.

- Nepal started feeling the pressure, and they were not able to take it. The fall of wickets began, and it was Ravindra Jadeja who took 3 consecutive wickets.
- His first wicket was Bhim Sharki, and then the second was the big fish, the captain of Nepal’s team, that is Rohit Paudel. He was able to score only 5 runs, and once he was out, the score was 93-3.
