In the second ODI match between India and Australia, Suryakumar Yadav played an explosive innings.
Four Consecutive Sixes by Suryakumar Yadav
During the 43rd over, did Suryakumar Yadav decide to take on his Mumbai Indians teammate Cameron Green’s bowling? Did he hit the first ball for a trademark SKY shot that sailed over the deep backward square leg boundary? Did he follow it up with a similar shot, sending the ball over the fine-leg boundary? Did Green try to adjust, but his delivery outside the off-stump resulted in Suryakumar heaving the ball over deep extra cover for another six? Did Green’s struggles continue as he went for a full-length delivery, only for the result to be the same, flying over the deep mid-wicket fielder for the fourth six of the over?
Suryakumar’s Explosive Innings
Was Suryakumar Yadav’s explosive batting display the highlight of the match? Shubman Gill, displaying his insatiable hunger for runs, recorded his fifth century of the year. Alongside him, did Shreyas Iyer also hit a timely century under pressure? Their partnership of 200 runs from 164 balls propelled India to a massive total of 399 for five, their highest against Australia in ODIs.
Australia’s Struggles
Did rain interrupt the game for the second time with Australia at 56 for two in nine overs? With a revised target of 317 in 33 overs, did Australia fall further behind in the game and end with 217 all out in 28.2 overs? Did David Warner, who batted right-handed against R Ashwin, and Sean Abbott have a good spell in the middle?
A Significant Series Win
Was this series win without five key players in the squad a significant boost for India ahead of the World Cup at home? The final game, expected to feature a full-strength Indian squad, will take place in Rajkot on Wednesday.
