It was a great win for India. Kohli was out of option except calling Vijay Shankar to bowl the last over. 11 needed from last 6 balls. First ball wicket, Stoinis gone. With that the match was also out from Australians hand. The next wicket was just matter of time to take since no recognize batsman.

Vijay Shankar has very bad first spell but his last over saved India.

Congrats India.

I didn't think that India will win today's match. The chance was almost no to a little. I thought I have lost. But I won at last. I can see a good place in the team for Shankar. He is doing pretty good with the batting too since the last series.

Another wonderful match to watch and it went to last over and much excited over from the new man vijay and got the wicket on first ball turned the match completely.Jasprit Bumrah took the crucial wicket and helped the team to victory.

India have bounced back strongly after losing the T20 series by winning their second ODI match against Australia which was looking like an Australia win but thanks to an all round bowling performance India were able to get the win. They should now go on and win the series as it will be tough to see Australia win the remaining 3 games.

Missed the match. Seems like it was an exciting match since it went to last over and India win. I am wondering how a new player Shankar bowled the last over and lead to win. Didn't Virat have any other option to call in? Or Shankar was a bet by Kohli?

Virat had the option to choose Vijay or Jadhav where Jadhav was the better baller in the match. He chose Vijay primarily due to the suggestions offered by Dhoni and Rohit Sharma which was clearly a great decision at the end of the day. Kudos to Vijay for delivering like that since I expected him to not peform.

There were some good captaincy by Kohli. He used his bowlers when the time needed them. Ultimately he was out of option but to use Vijay Shankar. He could not give the last over to a spinner coz spin was easy to play at that time.

Anyway, Vijay Shankar did the job very well despite he had bad start at his first spell.


My pick for the third match will be India again. They are playing good cricket right now.

Actually, that pitch was great for spinners since the ball kept low for a major portion of the match and this led to many batsmen getting out like Maxwell.

The decision to choose Vijay was done thanks to the suggestions by Dhoni and Rohit Sharma which Kohli himself admitted.

Except Vijay they did not have anyone else as option. Jadhav had two overs left but giving him the over could be too risky however if this was Kuldeep Yadav then the risk was less.

I disagree. Giving Vijay the ball was the riskier option due to his horrible first over where he was getting clobbered all over the ground.

On the other hand, Jadhav kept the ball low smartly and even took a wicket or two which is why Kohli's decision to go with Vijay was a great call.

Regarding this, Kohli is also following more or less Dhoni. Dhoni was also a risk taker at the end. He used to do this. Anyway, I think Vijay was the best option yesterday since spin over at last could easily bring a win for Australia.

The risk had to take because Jadhav could easily give the remaining 11 runs. Low balls or great spin may not work if just only two balls would need to hit hard.

The last over Kohli needed someone who could bowl such a way that the batsman miss it.

Right,even the best spinner can't defend the runs on last overs so they left out with no other option to pick Vijay and he is also having good first class career and can bowl as a regular pace bowler on Indian pitches.In future we may see him as bowler as well.

True and if you ask me , Bumrah is the one who changed the match and got the victory for Indians . Although Kuldeep managed to pick up important he gave many runs at the end of his spell but Bumrah maintained the pressure and bowled a fantastic 47th over which pressurized Aussies even more .

Completely true. Bumrah proved why he is the number one baller in ODI cricket at present. He is easily the best fast bowler at present.

I especially love his death bowling strategies where he actually ends giving less runs while other ballers usually struggle in comparison.

He is one of the best bowler because of his unusual bowling action which is confusing the person who is at the crease at every ball he bowls.I hope he will continue to be like that but if people starts to read his action then he might be less effective just like the story of lasith malinga.

Lasith Malinga still is a good bowler. He is a wicket taker for Sri Lankan.

By the way, who is watching Sri Lanka Vs South Africa? My pick is Sri Lanka today. May be they can afford some wins like they did in the test series?

I really lost interest on these matches because Sri lankan team was not at the best like how it used to be before so for me it looks like always going like one sided matches.Lets see who will win today.

Its been a big difference from the test series where Sri Lanka played well to the ODI series where they are losing badly. Being bowled out for just 138 runs when chasing a moderate total of 251 runs is a poor performance by Sri Lanka and I expected them to do much better then this. Right now they don't look like doing well in the upcoming World Cup unless they can turn their form around in the remaining three matches.

I need to say that they were failed to create the players at this generation,we saw many legendary players from Sri Lanka but now nothing to talk much about it.I think they need to use the upcoming IPL tournament well to get their form somewhat for each players.

[AB de Royse777]

Again Sri Lanka lost the last ODI and with that I lost my money too :-P

This Sri Lankan team needs some betting depth I think. They are always failing in Betting. 251 runs were not too big to chase in this pitch.

You think this will help them to perform better in the World cup? T20 and ODI are two different platform to perform.
