Twitter Reacts As Australia Restrict India To Modest Total
Jason Behrendorff rocked India with a fiery spell, taking 4 for 21 as India were all out for 118 in the ongoing second T20 International against Australia in Guwahati.
After being asked to bat first, India were to off a great start with Rohit Sharma slamming two fours off the first three balls. However, Behrendorff made a brilliant comeback by dismissing Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli on the fourth and fifth delivery of the first over to leave the hosts reeling at 8 for 2. Behrendorff was not done yet as he dismissed Manish Pandey and Shikhar Dhawan too to pile more pressure on India.
Kedar Jadhav and MS Dhoni then steadied the ship, adding 33 runs to take India’s score over 50 but just when it looked the duo had got things under control, Adam Zampa dismissed the latter to reduce the hosts to 60 for 4. Within the next ten runs, Kedar Jadhav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were sent back too before a 33-run partnership between Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav took the score over hundred.
However, India’s hopes of collecting some quick runs at the end did not materialise with Marcus Stoinis sending back Pandya in the 18th over. The Men in Blue eventually finished their innings on 118.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the innings:
Dhoni playing T20Is is as pointless as Sachin continuing to play ODIs after the World Cup. Nothing to gain. Only delaying the handover.

Superb by Zampa to lure Dhoni to his doom. Something in pitch for pacers and spinners. But India must get at least 125 to be competitive!

Dhoni's power-hitting capability has declined. Cannot go on the rampage from the word go; can consolidate well. Ideal for ODIs, not T20s !
