Cricket fans, New Chandigarh mein dhoop toh thi hi, par ICC ne Team India par thoda zyada hi garmi dikha di hai. Series toh humne pehle hi pocket mein daal li thi, lekin third ODI mein hui thodi si susti ab jeb par bhaari padne wali hai. Game-time discipline par ICC ne apna hathauda chala diya hai aur dono teams ko slow over-rate ke liye raseed thama di gayi hai.
The Guru Story
Doston, maza toh tab aata jab Team India clean sweep karti, lekin New Chandigarh mein kismat aur waqt dono hamare saath nahi the. ICC match referee ne paaya ki Shubman Gill ki lead wali India apne allotted time se poore 4 overs peeche thi. Jab time allowance calculate kiya gaya, tab bhi baat nahi bani aur natija ye nikla ki hamare ladkon par 20% match fee ka fine thok diya gaya hai.
Doosri taraf, West Indies bhi doodh ki dhuli nahi thi. Shai Hope ki sena 2 overs short thi, jis wajah se unhe 10% match fee ka jurmana bharna padega. Halaki, West Indies ke liye ye fine thoda kum chubhega kyunki unhone 351 runs ka pahad jaisa target chase karke ek historical win darz ki hai. Shai Hope ne 162 runs ki jo innings kheli, wo sach mein ek Masterclass thi, lekin hume bhulna nahi chahiye ki series abhi bhi India ki hi hai.
Waise, agar slow over-rate ki baat karein toh humein hairani nahi honi chahiye. Jab padosi mulk Pakistan ki team fielding karti hai, toh lagta hai jaise koi slow-motion film chal rahi ho. Unke players toh 50 overs khatam karte-karte itne thak jaate hain jaise poori duniya ka bojh unhi ke kandhon par ho. Kam se kam hamari Team India matches toh jeet rahi hai, wahan toh na fitness ka thikana hai na strategy ka!
Analysis & Numbers

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Fine toh aate jaate rahenge, par Team India ki dominance hi asli sach hai. Shubman Gill ne captaincy mein apna loha manwaya hai aur bat se toh wo alag hi level par khel rahe hain. Haalaki, over-rate par dhayan dena zaroori hai kyunki bade tournaments mein ye galti bhaari pad sakti hai. Ab focus Luckow par hona chahiye, jahan T20 series mein humein West Indies ko unki asli jagah dikhani hai. Aur rahi baat Pakistan ki, toh bhai unhe toh over-rate kya, cricket ke basics seekhne ki zaroorat hai!
