In the match between India and Nepal, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first. Rohit Sharma said that the batsmen got a chance in the last match and he wants the bowlers to also get match time before the Super-4. This is the first match being played between India and Nepal at the international level and the slow pace shown by Team India in the first five overs, one cannot tell that preparations for the World Cup 2023 are also underway. Through 4.2 overs, the Indian fielders and the wicketkeeper combined to give a total of three lives to both the Nepali opening batsmen. Shami bowled the first over and was caught at slip by Shreyas Iyer on the last ball, after which Siraj came to bowl the second over of the match and Virat Kohli took a very easy catch on his very first ball.

It was natural for captain Rohit Sharma to be shocked to see these two drop catches, but when the Nepali opener got a second life, the fans also grabbed their heads. Wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan gave life to Kushal Bhurtel in 4.2 overs. Bhurtel gave Iyer and Isha a life-donation while Asif Sheikh got a life-donation from Kohli. Bhurtel has taken full advantage of the two lives he has got so far and has battered the Indian bowlers. However, Asif Sheikh struggled a bit against the Indian bowlers.

Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer are considered among the best fielders in Team India, while Ishan Kishan has also taken some amazing catches behind the wicket. Looking at the way team India played in this match, it seems that the team has already accepted that they will easily win against Nepal. Apart from this, the World Cup 2023 is to be played next month and such sluggish fielding in such conditions does not bode well for both Team India and the fans.
