Aakash Chopra, Deep Dasgupta Reignites Debate on Karthik-Krunal 'Single' Incident in India vs New Zealand Final T20I
The recently concluded India's tour of New Zealand concluded with a 2-1 victory in the T20I in favour of the Kiwis. Both the teams headed into the final and third T20 with a 1-1 draw and the hosts sealed it from there. Following a no-show by India's otherwise reliable batsmen, the loss sparked a debate - if Dinesh Karthik should have taken a single to hand the strike to Krunal Pandya. The former was criticised majorly for not letting Krunal take striker in the third delivery of the final over on the 3rd T20I.
Former Indian cricketer Deep Dasgupta has weighed-in on the topic, defending Karthik for not taking a single and going with his instincts. However, former Indian batsman and now, TV anchor Aakash Chopra termed the incident of the game as a brain-fade moment by Karthik.
That's his job now, to finish games . I would have been upset had he taken the single. That would be shirking his responsibility, glad he didn't. You win some and you lose some but attitude is what matters. https://t.co/W5NH7UCcjY

Taking to his official social media handle, Dasgupta tweeted, That's his job now, to finish games. I would have been upset had he taken the single. That would be shirking his responsibility, glad he didn't. You win some and you lose some but the attitude is what matters.
Chopra replied that Krunal was not given the strike despite him cleaning the ball cleanly till then. Adding that he doesn t know whether the outcome of the match would have got affected or not but that run should have been taken.
Really? Considering how cleanly Krunal was striking at the other end? Then why take a single off the following ball?? That was a bit of a brain-fade moment in my humble opinion, mate. Not that it would ve changed the outcome but that single should ve been taken, Chopra replied to Dasgupta..
