"When You Are 3 Down": Ravindra Jadeja On Team India's Early Trouble vs Australia In World Cup Match

The visitors were bundled out for 199 with Ravindra Jadeja scalping three wickets. Later, the Rohit Sharma-led side chased down the target in 41.2 overs with Virat Kohli and KL Rahul playing the crucial knocks for the team.

Marquee pacer Jasprit Bumrah provided Team India with their first breakthrough in the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia on Sunday in Chennai.

Marsh, who had opened along with David Warner, got bamboozled by the extra bounce of Bumrah's delivery and ended up giving a catch to Virat Kohli at the slip. It was the first time in the history of ODI World Cups that India had managed to dismiss an opening batter from Australia for a duck.

Australia Faltered Due To Ultra-Defensive Approach, Ravindra Jadeja Excelled Among Spinners: Saba Karim

India were excellent on the field. Three spinners came in very handy for Rohit Sharma and his side. Rohit handled them very well. Ravindra Jadeja was the wrecker-in-chief, and Kuldeep Yadav was also decisive, especially with his line, length, and variation. Ravichandran Ashwin, playing after a long time in the World Cup, it was very important for him to deliver the goods. I think he bowled brilliantly. For Rohit Sharma, things have worked out well, having three spinners in the mix.

Ravindra Jadeja produced an absolute stunner to dismiss Steve Smith during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and Australia in Chennai on Sunday. Smith was looking in good touch but Jadeja decided to attack him with a back-of-the-length delivery. The ball landed roughly around the leg-stump line and then turned sharply to clip the top of the off-stump. The Australia batter did play to the line of the delivery but was completely foxed by the late deviation. Smith was left stunned by the delivery and even Virat Kohli was caught dumbstruck by the movement of the ball which provided India with the crucial wicket.

However, if it wasn't for the dropped catch of Virat Kohli, things could've ended differently for the Indian team. The importance of Kohli's wicket is well known to not just fans but also his teammates. After India sealed the win, Ravichandran Ashwin admitted that the moment Kohli hit the ball in the air, he rushed out of the dressing room out of fear that the talismanic batter would be dismissed cheaply.

Kohli scored a gritty half-century to guide India to victory and in the process, became the highest run-scorer for the Indian cricket team in ICC limited-over tournaments (World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy). The record previously belonged to Tendulkar who scored 2718 runs in 58 appearances. On the other hand, Kohli now has 2785 runs in 64 appearances.

KL Rahul missed out narrowly on a century but was able to guide India to a win over Australia in their opening match of the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday. Rahul remained unbeaten on 97 off 115 deliveries and he was the one who slammed the winning runs for his side. However, his reaction after winning the final six of the game has gone viral on social media. India were in deep trouble during their 200-run chase as skipper Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, and Ishan Kishan were all dismissed without scoring a single run. Rahul stitched together a brilliant partnership with Kohli as both the batters scored half-centuries and India were able to win the game comfortably in the end.
