Australia is desperate to win the last two games of the ODI series and it will require something special from their players to beat an Indian side in this form. On Thursday, Aussie captain Steve Smith led from the front and made some superb efforts in the field. But, the moment of the match came when Steve Smith surprised Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma with his fielding effort and the result was that both Kohli and Sharma were left stranded on the same side of the pitch. Rohit unfortunately got run out and the momentum shifted in Australia’s favour.
Rohit Sharma has been in superb form of late and Chinaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is happing hunting ground for the hitman. That tells how vital Sharma’s wicket and also it came at a crucial juncture in the match. Such performance by Aussie captain must have lifted the morale of other team members as well.
