Australia’s all-rounder Marcus Stoinis took a good low catch while running in from the square position. India’s southpaw opener Shikhar Dhawan was struggling to get going. Dhawan was not able to time the ball as he scored 14 runs from 24 balls. The left-hander was drafted back into the team in place of vice-captain Rohit Sharma.

Dhawan advanced down the track against Jason Behrendorff but could not get the elevation he was looking for. Consequently, Stoinis ran in to take a good low catch. Meanwhile, the standing umpire gave the soft signal as out. In fact, there was doubt about the decision. However, Stoinis had got his fingers underneath the ball.

On the other hand, KL Rahul gave another good start to the team. Rahul scored a quickfire knock of 47 runs from 26 balls. The stylish right-hander took the pressure from Dhawan who could not find his touch.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni batted at the top of their game. Dhoni who could not find his touch in the previous match was able to get hit the ground running. The talisman batsman timed the ball with perfection as he smashed three sixes and as many fours. Dhoni scored a blistering knock of 40 runs from 23 balls.

On the other side, Virat Kohli was also at his best. Kohli took his time in the initial phase of the innings. Subsequently, Kohli was able to change the gears as he and Dhoni took on the attack against Australian bowlers. The Indian captain scored 72 runs from 38 balls with the help of two fours and half-a-dozen sixes.

India was able to post 190 runs in the second match on the back of fine knocks from Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. Jason Behrendorff was the pick of the Australian bowlers as he took one wicket and conceded 17 runs in three overs.
