The ongoing one-day International series between India and Australia is currently underway, with the penultimate match taking place in Vizag city. With both teams boasting of some of the best cricketing talent in the world, this series has been highly anticipated. The Indian team currently leads the series 1-0 following their emphatic victory in the series opener in Mumbai. Australia, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back with a win in this match to stay in contention for the series.

“The pitch has been under the covers for a long time, we got to bat well and see where we are. Every game you play for India is a pressure game, so you got to stay calm and make the right decision. We have tried to remain calm in the last few ODI series we have played.” said Indian captain Rohit Sharma at the toss

 

Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved to be a good decision as the visitors managed to register three dismissals in the first six overs of the game. India’s scorecard currently displays 34/3, with Sharma, Gill, and Yadav all losing their wickets. Premier Australian pacer Mitchell Starc was the bowler who claimed all three wickets, continuing his impressive form.

KL Rahul's Unbeaten Knock Guides India to Victory

India defeated Australia by five wickets in the first match of the three-match ODI series on Friday, with KL Rahul’s unbeaten knock of 75 runs leading India’s recovery from 39/4 to chase down a 189-run target. The Wankhede Stadium witnessed Rahul’s heroics, which guided India to a thrilling victory with five wickets to spare.

India’s bowling attack, led by Mohammed Shami, was in top form as they restricted Australia to a below-par score of 188 in 35.4 overs. Mitchell Marsh’s 81 off 65 balls had put the Aussies in a commanding position at 129/2 until Shami’s spell turned the game around. Shami picked up three crucial wickets, while Mohammed Siraj and Hardik Pandya claimed three and one wicket, respectively.

Chasing the target, India was in trouble with Mitchell Starc’s sharp bowling removing three key batsmen in quick succession. However, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja’s partnership turned the game in India’s favour as they steadied the ship and chased down the target in 39.5 overs.

The victory was a great start for India in the three-match ODI series against Australia, and they will look to continue their momentum in the next match, scheduled for March 19 in Visakhapatnam.

Starc Takes Kohli Down with an Unplayable Inswinger

The Indian and Australian cricket teams faced off in a much-anticipated matchup, and while the players in both teams excelled in their respective roles, there was one moment that left cricket fans buzzing. The jaw-dropping inswinger delivered by Mitchell Starc that dismissed Virat Kohli for the first time in limited-overs cricket made Twitter go wild. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the action and the reactions to it.

As the Indian team chased down 189 runs against the Australian team in the first ODI on Friday, Kohli took to the crease at No. 3 to support his team’s efforts. Unfortunately for Kohli and Indian cricket fans, it was a short-lived appearance. Starc bowled an impressive full inswinger that nipped back, preventing Kohli from connecting with it. The ball hit Kohli’s pads, and the umpire quickly raised his finger, signalling that Kohli was out. He left the pitch after scoring just 4 off nine balls.

The First Time Starc Got Kohli in ODIs

While Kohli is known for dominating in limited-overs cricket, Starc had always struggled against him. However, this time was different. Starc managed to dismiss Kohli for the first time in ODIs. Before this match, Kohli had averaged 93 at a strike rate of 95.9 against Starc in ODIs. In T20Is, Starc is yet to dismiss Kohli, who has scored 15 runs at a strike rate of 93.8. In Tests, Starc has managed to dismiss Kohli thrice but concedes 73 runs per wicket.

Hardik Pandya Fumes Over Sight Screen

In the highly competitive game of cricket, even a minor interruption can have a significant impact on the match’s outcome. During the first match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, the Indian skipper Hardik Pandya expressed his frustration with the repeated interruptions caused by the spectators moving around the sight screen.

Hardik Pandya, who returned to competitive cricket after a long hiatus, was leading the Indian side in the absence of Rohit Sharma, who was attending a family event. However, Hardik’s introduction to the bowling attack was marred by a person walking in front of the sight screen, causing him to stop midway through his run-up.

This interruption not only affected the bowler but also the batsman, Mitchell Marsh, who found it difficult to concentrate. Similar interruptions occurred a few overs earlier when Mohammed Shami was bowling, leaving Hardik Pandya livid.

To address the issue, Hardik had a discussion with the on-field umpires, suggesting that the spectators be asked to sit in a designated area instead of disrupting the game regularly. It is crucial to note that such interruptions can break the momentum of the teams and result in missed opportunities.

Tamim Iqbal Makes a Terrible DRS Call

In the second ODI of the 3-match series between Bangladesh and England, the latter emerged victorious by 132 runs after scoring an imposing total of 326 runs. However, the match witnessed a hilarious moment when Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal took a terrible DRS call against England’s Adil Rashid, which has gone viral on social media.

England’s opening batsman Jason Roy played a scintillating knock of 132 runs off just 124 deliveries, putting his team in a commanding position. Bangladesh, after winning the toss, invited England to bat first, which turned out to be a big mistake.

When England had crossed the 300 mark in the 48th over, Bangladesh’s pacer Taskin Ahmed bowled a perfect yorker to Adil Rashid, which the latter blocked comfortably with his bat. To everyone’s surprise, Bangladesh fielders, including skipper Tamim Iqbal, started appealing for Leg Before Wicket.

However, the on-field umpire rejected the appeal, and Tamim Iqbal decided to call for the Decision Review System (DRS), confident of getting the dismissal. But, the DRS made it clear that the ball had clearly made contact with Adil Rashid’s bat and was nowhere close to the pad.

The strange DRS review by Tamim Iqbal left fans in splits, with a few cricket fans terming it as the ‘Worst DRS Appeal Of The Year.’ The incident highlighted the importance of making informed decisions while using DRS, which can turn the course of the game.
