Kohli Eyes Dhoni’s Captaincy Record in Third ODI

The team is also hooked to the famous Yo-Yo test which is considered one of the best ways to test a sportsperson’s endurance.

What a reply this has been from India. On the other hand, Ajinkya Rahane, who returned to form in the last match, can be seen playing. “You’ve got to rotate the strike and minimise damage”.

“We are going to bat”. He throws the ball up, goes past the rope, comes back in to complete the catch. Jasprit Bumrah has his second.

It all started in the last ball of the 38th over when Finch lofted Kuldeep to Kedar Jadhav at deep-midwicket. End of a fine innings of 124.

Notably, Kuldeep hurt Australia in Kolkata on Thursday, September 21 with his first ODI hat-trick that helped India clinch a 50-run win. Australia must cash in on such a fine platform.

“He brings a lot of aggression at the top of the batting order”. Travis Head and Steve Smith looked comfortable out in the middle too, but when the latter fell, the Aussies had pretty much lost the match.

“I find that the players can read them and there’s the odd one or two that you probably can’t see the seam and then the players react off the wicket”. India are not leaking runs but Australia managing to score runs at brisk pace.

# Hardik Pandya to Warner, That’s OUT!

# Bhuvneshwar to Warner, FOUR! lovely hit by the Australian opener. Australia move closer to fifty. That Australia continue to pick a team full of all-rounders rather than frontline batsmen is not helping the visitors.

Tensions have again flared between Australian players and Virat Kohli after the Indian captain took a bye while Matthew Wade was down injured.

Australia finished with 6-293 which the hosts will be confident of chasing down given the short boundaries and favourable batting conditions at Holkar Stadium on Sunday. Rahane scored 55 in Kolkata and made a strong comeback in the form and gave a positive response to the critics.

Post-match, this former Australian bowler said, “He (Wade) misfielded one”.

Following Kohli’s dismissal, India began to lose wickets at regular intervals, but with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya’s both scoring 20, India managed to make 252 before being bowled out on the final ball of their innings.

The game on Sunday should be a keenly-fought contest amid reports of rain.

So far, India have outplayed the Kangaroos in all three departments of the game.

“Virat Kohli knows how to bring a game under his control and that’s why India is on its winning streak”, he said.

Australia made couple of changes in their playing XI with Aaron Finch coming back for Hilton Cartwright, while Peter Handscomb replaced Matthew Wade.
