AUS vs IND: ‘We didn’t play to our potential’ says Rohit Sharma

• India lost four wickets in the Power-play.
• Mitchell Starc claiming his ninth five-wicket.
• Australia outplayed India in all departments.

After an embarrassing 10-wicket loss to Australia in the second ODI, India captain Rohit Sharma admitted that his batters never managed to apply themselves with the bat, leading to them being bowled out for 117.

Mitchell Starc was the main architect in Australia bundling out India for their fourth-lowest total at home, claiming his ninth five-wicket haul in ODI cricket.

Sean Abbott was excellent in his 3-23 while Nathan Ellis provided great support through 2-13 as all of Australia’s fast bowlers shared the ten Indian wickets.

India lost four wickets in the Power-play for the first time since the 2019 ODI World Cup semifinal loss to New Zealand, and only Virat Kohli and Axar Patel could go beyond 25. Australia skipper Steve Smith was a happy man as his team outplayed India in all departments of the game.

Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head slammed unbeaten fifties to chase down 118 in 11 overs, with Australia’s bowlers outstanding. India and Australia will face off in the decider at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday.
