Australia Captain Alyssa Healy Reveals Why She Photographed Indian Team

The Indian women's cricket team secured a historic victory against Australia as the two teams squared off in a Test match. Tempers flared in the high-profile encounter, with India skipper also engaging in an on-field tussle with her counterpart Healy. Yet, as the game concluded, Healy showed her excellent sporting character as she picked up the camera to click a picture of the Indian team on this historic occasion. In the post-match press conference, the Aussie skipper revealed the reason behind the act.

"It wasn't my camera," said Healy, adding, "They were pushing the cameramen back so I though to give one of them an opportunity to get out there nice and close but I actually cut out half of the Indian team by accident. So I don't think they will be using that."
