India (92/4) beats Australia (90/5) by 6 wickets - Series level at 1-1

[MP2011]

Harshal is one more Munaf Patel like trundler.

Hopefully he will not be part of the playing XI once full strength attack comes together.

Lol at comparison with Munaf. This only means you have not seen Munaf bowling.

 

[Champ_Pal]

What else did you expect from a mental midget?

He is short of confidence. Did not look comfortable in Asia cup too. He needs time to come good.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

He is short of confidence. Did not look comfortable in Asia cup too. He needs time to come good.

But there is not much time left. World cup is coming up.

 

[MP2011]

He is short of confidence. Did not look comfortable in Asia cup too. He needs time to come good.

Lol at the excuses. He isn't good enough at this level and hence is found wanting.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kohli gone after hitting two boundaries

 

[MP2011]

Kohli bowled, yet again by Zampa

 

[MP2011]

Mr 360 gone first ball, lol.

 

[AAli98]

Why stop at 8 overs each should have made it 8 deliveries per team !!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

360 degree gone too

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is still India's game with Rohit and Pandya there

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Was expecting zampa to have some success here after looking at how Axar bowled today.

 

[MP2011]

Zampa is so much better than that overrated Chahal.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Australia has so many bowling options.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rohit is finding it so easy

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rohit taking on Abbott

 

[MP2011]

Will Cummins prove to be Australia' Bhuvi?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Zampa owns India. Most successful bowler against India especially Kohli in recent times.

 

[Ab Fan]

Terrific knock from Rohit.. humble pies for his haters lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

OZ was atleast 25 runs short.

 

[Ab Fan]

Pandya doing it again the MSD way, gets his eye in and then gets the job done. Best thing since MSD for India in LOIs in finisher role.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya likes Cummins bowling for some reason.

 

[daytrader]

Rohit singlehandedly mauling the Australian attack

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya should learn to finish games from Dhoni.

 

[MP2011]

Poor Hardik gone.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya doing it again the MSD way, gets his eye in and then gets the job done. Best thing since MSD for India in LOIs in finisher role.

You always jinx Pant and Pandya. It will be helpful if you shut that thing for sometime.

Lol, too early?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I see Rohit haters have already started taking a u-turn here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lol, too early?

He is a panauti who never learns.

 

[MP2011]

Great shot from Rohit.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Karthik you beauty

 

[Ab Fan]

You always jinx Pant and Pandya. It will be helpful if you shut that thing for sometime.

Sounding bitter after watching Pakistan rolled 4 down at 20 odd vs England

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Haha karthik finishes it in 2 balls.

 

[Ab Fan]

Easy win for India. Pant and Pandya's lucky charm helping the team to win it all the way.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a cameo from Karthik. Pant can only dream of playing like that.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Surely it should settle the debate who deserves to get a place in the playing XI between Karthik and Pant.

 

[daytrader]

India won by 6 wickets (with 4 balls remaining)

AUS
(8/8 ov) 90/5

INDIA
(7.2/8 ov, T:91) 92/4

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Show some confidence on Karthik and he starts playing like that. Sending inferior batsmen like Axar and Pant above him is an insult to Karthik.

 

[Rohan]

Maza aa gaya.

After a long time, saw Rohit batting in death overs

 

[daytrader]

DK finishes it in style

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Easy win for India. Pant and Pandya's lucky charm helping the team to win it all the way.

They did nothing in this match. Rohit, Axar and a cute cameo from Karthik won it for India. Are you bitter that TM didn't send Pant to finish it? He would have bottled it here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Maza aa gaya.

After a long time, saw Rohit batting in death overs

Yes. He was unlucky in the first match. He would have scored a century in Mohali.

 

[Rohan]

Yes. He was unlucky in the first match. He would have scored a century in Mohali.

He played poorly there, he got out, simple. Kohli played poorly in both.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

He played poorly there, he got out, simple. Kohli played poorly in both.

Kohli has relaxed a bit after scoring a century against Afghanistan of all teams.

 

[Mahee]

not a comprehensive victory....I expected them to finish it off in 5 overs but they dragged it on to the final over. disappointing !!

 

[DJhant]

Harshal reminds me of Harvinder Singh and Mohanty days.

Mohanty was a decent swing bowler. About Harshal, he is a hyped IPL bowler.

 

[DJhant]

Kohli has relaxed a bit after scoring a century against Afghanistan of all teams.

Afganistan has a gun bowling attack. One good pacer, they would be world beaters

 

[Rohan]

Kohli has relaxed a bit after scoring a century against Afghanistan of all teams.

No player playing for the country should be relaxed while playing a match and certainly not when on the ground. They are not doing justice to their responsibility and roles.

 

[Rohan]

Lol

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Mohanty was a decent swing bowler. About Harshal, he is a hyped IPL bowler.

Yes he was but I am talking about our overall bowling attack which was pathetic. One or two good performances didn't mean anything. Mohanty was at its best in Sahara Cup in 1998/99 I think. There were other bowlers like Paras Mhambrey, Ankola, Dodda Ganesh too. These guys were mediocre.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Are you trying to compete with Shaheen Shah?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya doing it again the MSD way, gets his eye in and then gets the job done. Best thing since MSD for India in LOIs in finisher role.

Post of the thread.

 

[ezhil]

Pandya can never be MSD

 

[MenInG]

Rohit Sharma went past Martin Guptill to top the chart of batters with most sixes in T20Is during his knock against Australia in Nagpur in the eight-over match.

Rohit Sharma, the leading run-scorer in T20Is, went past Martin Guptill's tally of sixes to go to the top of the six hitters' chart in T20Is. The India captain, who smashed two sixes in the first over from Josh Hazlewood in a run chase of 91 in eight overs, now has 174 sixes to his name in this format.

Guptill with 172 sixes and Chris Gayle with 124 sixes follow him. Virat Kohli is the only other Indian batter with more than 100 T20I sixes, currently sitting on 104 sixes in the format.

Rohit, who has played 138 matches, had gone past Guptill's run tally in the format last month, later going on to become the only men's player with more than 3500 T20I runs.

Suzie Bates is the only other batter with more than 3500 runs in the format at the international level. Deandra Dottin and Sophie Devine are the only women cricketers with more than 100 recorded T20I sixes.

Rohit's knock at the top helped India get off to a great start against Australia in Nagpur in a shortened match. Australia made 90/5 batting first in the eight-over game, but Rohit and KL Rahul put on a 39-run opening stand in 2.5 overs to get India off to a great start.

Reminded me of Hong Kong 5 over games man those were fun
