Taking advantage of the opportunity, IPL side Kolkata Knight Riders revisited a moment from a 2016 match. Images of the aggressive field placement went viral on social media, becoming a major talking point for all. Almost 8 fielders from the Aussie side were in close positions in a bid to put pressure on the opposition’s tailenders. The thrilling field placement from captain Pat Cummins towards the finishing moments of the match sparked a lot of conversations. Since the hosts Australia were only allowed to play spinners in the attack during the extra overs, Steve Smith and Nathan Lyon were seen rolling their arms from each end. Australia’s hopes of a 4-0 lead went up in smoke after the last surviving wicket stand of Broad and Anderson helped England salvage a draw in a nail-biting finish. Broad hung around in the middle for 35 deliveries and even Jack Leach played a significant part in contributing to England’s survival. The tailenders of Stuart Broad and James Anderson ran a tight ship to prevent Australia from going 4-0 up. After going down 0-3, the side barely survived another blow in Sydney.

Joe Root’s England has been living nothing short of a nightmare in the ongoing Ashes series.
