Rohit Paudel Statement: We have come to cause an upheaval… Nepal was going to win against England, Captain Rohit was heartbroken

New Delhi. Nepal cricket team missed out on creating history in the T20 World Cup. The team led by Rohit Paudel was going to pull off an upset against two-time world champions England but Sam Karna broke their dream in the last over. Despite the heart-breaking defeat, Nepal’s captain says that his team will try to cause one or two upsets in this World Cup. Rohit said that his intention is not just to participate in this World Cup but he has come with the confidence of victory.

England tackled the challenge of Nepal in a very exciting match of T20 World Cup Group C and finally registered a close four-run victory. Nepal had come very close to creating history by causing an upset in this match. He scored 180 runs for six wickets in reply to England’s 184 runs for seven wickets.

Nepal captain Rohit Paudel said that they are not just taking part in the tournament but will try to cause one or two upsets, the evidence of which was clearly visible in their spirited performance against England. He said, ‘The players performed their best. I am so proud of him. When we came to this World Cup, we came with the belief that we did not come here just to participate. Although the result was not in our favor, but in terms of effort we gave 100 percent in every department. Sam Curran bowled very well in the last over. We will improve it.

Lokesh Bam (39 not out in 20 balls) performed brilliantly and kept Nepal’s hopes of an upset victory alive, but could not win in the last over. In the last over, Nepal needed 10 runs to win, but the boundary could not be reached for Nepal. In this way his brilliant performance with the bat ended with a close defeat. Sam Curran bowled continuous yorkers in the last over and Nepal’s team could score only five runs. But still more than 17,000 fans were present at Wankhede Stadium and they saw Nepal perform much better than their potential.
