Today, India started to bat first and scored good runs. They have scored 352 runs on the loss of five wickets. Both the Indian opening batsman gave a good start for India and laid a solid foundation for the team. Although the start was very slow, gradually they read the pitch and started to bat in attacking way. In the start, Rohit and Shikhar both were very slow but later they manage their run rates. The Indian team lost their first wickets in the form of Rohit Sharma but Shikhar Dhawan kept on his game and knocked century. He was caught out when he was trying to hit the ball outside the boundary.
Indian skipper, also played very fair and scored 82 runs. Kohli took quick decision to change in the batting line up when Shikhar Dhawan went out. He promoted Hardik Pandya at number four. Hardik was called for speed up the run rate and he knew very well and he executed his task in very well manner. Hardik scored 48 runs in 27 balls with the help of three sixes and four fours.
Dhoni was also promoted by Virat Kohli and he came at number five. Dhoni already knew that what is the responsibility for him and he played a quick inning of 27 runs in 13 balls. KL Rahul played only three balls and scored 11 runs and remains unbeaten. After all, whole Indian team played fine.
However, this score is still not secure because Aussies have already experienced in handling such huge scores. Also, we can see that bowlers are not getting much support from the pitch that is an alarm for Indian bowlers.
Till now, Australia has scored 18 runs without any loss. Total five overs have been delivered. It is a good start for Australia and I think last overs will be crucial for both of the teams which may enthrall you all.
