Ind vs Aus 2nd ODI Highlights: India defeated Australia by 36 runs in Rajkot to level the three-match series 1-1.

  • Bowlers fired in unison to help India register 36-run victory over Australia and level the three-match series 1-1
  • Shami returned figures of 3/77 while Saini, Jadeja and Kuldeep chipped in with two wickets each
  • The third and final ODI will be played on Sunday in Bengaluru

Aaron Finch | Australia captain: I didn’t expect it to be cold. Didn’t think I’d need the long-sleeved sweater. I think we were one wicket shy of where we needed to be throughout the bowling innings, but they’re world class. Zampa’s length has been fantastic so far. The way Smithy started today, and nearly got through to the end, but not quite. Marnus and Smith, the only time they’re apart is when they’re asleep. I think on these tracks, it’s important to capitalize when the batsman gets in.

Kuldeep: It’s been tough four-five months after World Cup, but now I’m getting back in rhythm and bowling really well. Bowled six overs initially, they were batting well both Marnus and Smith. When I came back for the last spell, I was looking for wickets. Found that wicket was slow. Later on, the ball gets softer too. So it’s difficult to hit if I bowl slower. Think I’m bowling at the perfect pace and in good areas.
