Many times such amazing and incredible moments are seen on the cricket field which become immortal in the minds of sports lovers forever. Generally, in any cricket match, when the number-11 (last number) batsman comes to the crease to bat, the bowler and captain of the opposing team think that after finishing the game in just two-three balls, the entire team should be sent to the pavilion. However, there have been many such unique occasions in the history of international cricket, including the matches played between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ), when these number-11 batsmen, who were at the last position, ruined all the strategies of the world's great bowlers. These tailenders not only taught them to stand firm at the crease for many overs, but also added so many valuable runs to their team's scoreboard that even the big specialist batsmen were surprised. Let us tell you today about those five historic and biggest innings when number-11 batsmen saved the honor of their team by becoming a wall against India or other strong teams. #1. When a long partnership for the last wicket changed the whole course of the match. In the game of cricket, the main job of the lower order batsmen is usually to support their main batsmen or barely play a few balls, but when a number-11 player comes to the crease in a Test or ODI match and tires the bowlers with his defense and enthusiasm, then the match becomes completely exciting. It has been seen many times between India and Kiwi team when after the collapse of the initial and middle order, the number-11 player started playing steadily and took the score to a respectable position. There are many such stories recorded in the record books of cricket where the last batsman acted as a lifeline for his team and created lines of worry on the forehead of the opposition bowlers. #1. Those 5 biggest innings of number-11 batsmen in Test and ODI which were immortalized in history. In the long history of international cricket, there is always mention of selected players who played the biggest and memorable innings at number-11 position. In these five historic innings, the players demonstrated their amazing concentration and restraint and proved that no player is weak in cricket. Be it the innings played against West Indies, Australia, England or New Zealand, these batsmen spent many hours at the crease in Test cricket and scored half-centuries or more. Whenever the opposing bowlers assumed that the wicket would be easily accessible, these batsmen changed the course of the match through defensive play and some excellent shots. #1. When the tailenders became a headache for the Indian bowlers: Questions were raised on the strategy. It has often been seen that when the Indian bowling attack destroys the top and middle order of the opposition team cheaply, then the bowlers and fielders of the team become a little lax. Taking advantage of this, when the number 11 batsman stays on the field, the Indian captain is forced to change his strategy. Leaving short-pitched balls of fast bowlers and stopping the spin of spinners with pads is the main part of the strategy of these batsmen. Cricket pundits believe that the Indian team sometimes needs to show more discipline and aggression while bowling against the lower order batsmen, so that they cannot score runs easily. #1. Increasing importance and training of lower order batsmen in modern cricket. In today's modern cricket era, where T20 and ODI are dominant, every team gives special batting practice to its lower order and number 11 bowlers also. Now no team wants their last two players to be out without scoring runs. Modern coaches strengthen the defense of these players by giving them throwdowns and special coaching during net sessions. In the upcoming matches between top teams like India and New Zealand, it will be very interesting to see whether a new number-11 batsman creates history again or the bowlers completely dominate him.
