Varun Aaron: India Short By 30-40 Runs in T20I Loss
A former Indian cricket player named Varun Aaron said that the Indian team didn't score enough points in a game against Australia.
He thinks they should have scored about 30 to 40 more points.
He also mentioned that the batters tried to hit the ball too hard too soon in the game.
The only player who did really well with the bat was Abhishek Sharma, who scored 68 runs.
Because they didn't score enough runs, Australia was able to win the game more easily.
Former Indian cricketer Varun Aaron believes India fell short by 30-40 runs in their batting innings during the second T20I against Australia.
India was bowled out for 125 runs in the match held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Abhishek Sharma was a standout performer for India, scoring 68 runs off 37 balls.
Aaron suggested India's batting approach was too aggressive early on and could have been managed better with the new ball.
Australia comfortably chased down the target to win the second T20I.
