Indian National Cricket team vice-captain Rohit Sharma looked in great touch as they gear up for the second ODI against Australia on March 5 (Tuesday) at the Vidarbha Cricket Association, Nagpur.

Meanwhile, the men in blues stormed back to the track after suffering a humiliating loss in the T20I series. India lost a few wickets early while chasing, but Dhoni’s love affair with Australia in the 50-over format continues. He’s notched up four fifties in four matches this year, and the Aussies don’t seem to find a way to dismiss the 37-year-old. The biggest positive though for India has to be the way their middle order performed under pressure. Yes, Rayudu at No. 4 didn’t fire, but Kohli & Co. is likely to give him more chances in the upcoming matches. Kedar Jadhav also played a significant hand scoring 81 off 87 balls to bag the man of the match award.

Previously, batting first, Australia could manage to post only 236 runs on the board after a good show by the Indian bowlers. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers for the home side returning with two for 44 in his full quota. The Bengal pacer was spectacular with the new ball posing all sorts of questions to the Aussie openers. Despite Usman Khawaja (50) and Glenn Maxwell (40) tried to bail Australia out, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav put things to check with timely wickets.
