In a highly-anticipated clash at the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023, Team India showcased their bowling prowess against Australia, restricting them to a total of 199 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Indian bowlers, especially the spinners, were the architects of this remarkable feat.

Australia’s captain, Pat Cummins, won the toss and elected to bat first, expecting a strong start from his team. However, India had different plans as their bowlers took control from the outset, leaving the Australian batsmen struggling for stability.

The partnership between David Warner and Steve Smith was the most noteworthy aspect of Australia’s batting innings. The duo put up a commendable 69-run stand, offering a glimmer of hope to the Australian side. However, it was short-lived as India’s spinners took charge.

Spinners steal the show

The Indian spinners, in particular, turned the tide in favor of their team. Ravindra Jadeja was the standout performer, claiming three crucial wickets for just 28 runs. He was well-supported by Kuldeep Yadav, who took two wickets for 42 runs, and Ravichandran Ashwin, who chipped in with one wicket for 34 runs. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah also made a significant contribution, securing two wickets for 35 runs.

Smith was the top scorer for Australia, contributing 46 runs to the team’s total. Warner, with 41 runs, and Mitchell Starc, with 28 runs, also managed to find some runs on the board. However, their efforts were not enough to build a formidable total against India’s relentless bowling attack.

Netizens laud Team India

Following this impressive performance by Team India’s bowlers, netizens took to social media to express their admiration and support for the team. The fans were particularly thrilled with the spinners’ display, which played a pivotal role in dismantling Australia’s batting lineup.
