When discussing the game, Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah won the coin toss and chose to bat initially. The Australian bowlers fully revealed the weaknesses of the Indian team. Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Mitchell Marsh collectively dismissed the entire Indian team for a score of 150 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal failed to score any runs, leaving the Indian top order vulnerable. Besides them, Virat Kohli was unable to remain at the wicket for an extended period and was eliminated by Josh Hazlewood. KL Rahul, in addition to Rishabh Pant, executed some impressive shots. Nevertheless, he was soon out for 26 runs, and his innings came to an end.
There was a moment when it looked like the Indian team would only score 100 runs, but Pant and his partner managed to add 48 runs in 85 balls for the seventh wicket. Ultimately, Pat Cummins disrupted Rishabh Pant’s focus and sent the southpaw back to the pavilion after he had scored 37 runs. Ultimately, the Indian team quickly lost their final three wickets. Nitish Kumar Reddy led India in scoring with a total of 41 runs.
