Meanwhile, India is facing a batting collapse. After bowling out the Aussies for 188 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India were 122 for five in 30 overs when they finally got the information. Ishan Kishan (3), Virat Kohli (4), Suryakumar Yadav (0), Shubman Gill (20) and Hardik Pandya (25) are out. Mitchell Starc took three wickets. Marcus Stoinis has a wicket. Ravindra Jadeja (20) and KL Rahul (41) are at the crease. Earlier, Mohammad Shami and Mohammad Siraj, who took three wickets each, destroyed India. Except for Mitchell Marsh who scored 81 runs off 65 balls, nobody could shine. The first of the three-match series is in Mumbai.
Ishan Kishan, who replaced Rohit Sharma in the team, could not capitalize on the opportunity. Ishan’s life span was only eight balls. The player was trapped in front of the wicket by Stoinis’ ball. Kohli and Suriya returned in the fifth over. Both were trapped in front of the wicket by Starc on back-to-back balls.
