Australia vs India: Aaron Finch vs Virat Kohli

The Hindu  

India’s battered bowling unit will have little time to regroup with limited resources at its disposal as it attempts to save the One-Day International series against Australia in the second match in Sydney on Sunday. It wasn’t just the margin of defeat – 66 runs – but the manner in which the home team exposed India’s vacant cupboard of all-rounders will give Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri numerous points to ponder. With Australia’s top three – captain Aaron Finch, David Warner and Steve Smith – hitting the straps right away, Jasprit Bumrah & Co. will have no option but to pick up the pieces and give a better account of themselves on a strip that promises to be a belter. READ| For Australia, highly rated all-rounder Cameron Green has a chance to win an ODI cap as Marcus Stoinis picked up a side strain during the first game on Friday. Bouncing back While the choice of five bowlers in the first ODI certainly hurt India, some of the shot selection at the top of the order left a lot to be desired, especially Shreyas Iyer, whose dismissal was an embarrassing sight as he fended awkwardly at a well-directed bouncer from Josh Hazlewood.
