The second game in Hamilton was also canceled due to rain.
However, whenever rain stayed away from the likes of Gill, shreyas iyer, Washington Sundar And Umran shone, attracted Shastri’s attention. “I think a lot of positives have come from this one-day series. Shreyas Iyer is getting runs in a few matches, ready to be there and ready to get through the tough times. Suryakumar definitely has the potential, The talent is there, and he will deliver,” Shastri said during Prime Video’s post-match coverage.
Talking about the young Indian players in the current team, he said, “Washington Sundar, I thought it was very good. And even Umran Malik, I like the way he bowled. There Has potential. If he can persevere, it will be great.” Good.

“He looked organized, he left the ball well and the balance was fantastic and his footwork was very positive.
