Fans at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore witnessed a thrilling display of cricketing prowess during the second ODI of the three-game series between India and Australia. While the venue was initially set on fire by the Indian batting line-up, it was the home team’s fiery pacer Prasidh Krishna who stole the limelight during the second innings by striking early with the ball.

A double blow from Prasidh Krishna

Krishna showcased a brilliant bowling performance in his opening over, removing Aussie batter Matthew Short and stand-in skipper Steve Smith on consecutive deliveries. The Karnataka-born’s magical spell left the crowd in sheer awe.

Matthew Short’s dismissal

On the second ball of his spell, Prasidh bowled a length ball that swung away outside off. Short threw his bat at it, attempting to flay it over the off-side but unfortunately he could only manage to get a fat outside edge, sending the ball hurtling towards Ravichandran Ashwin at the third man, who took a brilliant running catch to his left without losing the balance.

Steve Smith departs for a golden duck

With the Holkar Cricket Stadium buzzing with excitement, Krishna had something truly special in store for the very next delivery as he produced an angled outside back-of-a-length delivery to newly arrived Smith. The Australian skipper gave in to temptation and chased the ball by wafting his bat hard at it. As a result, the ball found a thick outside edge of the willow and soared towards the first slip, where Shubman Gill reverse-cupped the catch above his head, sending the Indian fans into delirium.
