Another massive succcess for India as well as Skipper MS Dhoni.. 2nd One Day International match between India vs Australia held on Vishakapatnam on 20th October 2010. Mahendra Singh Dhoni win the toss and elected to bowl first.. Early strikes from Nehra put some pressure on Aussies.. But Skipper M Clarke and M Hussey put some valuable runs.. Hussey and Clarke put 140 odd runs.. Till the fall of Hussey the run rate is below 5 only.. C White change the fact of the match.. He take 11 balls to get 3 runs in one stage after that a massive blow from him.. He scored 89* runs just from 49 balls.. In that 6 sixes and 6 fours include.. Australia set 290 target for Indians.. S Dhawan and M Vijay started for India. S Dhawan lost his wicket in the second ball he faced, V Kohli came at no 3 position.. M Vijay started well but he fail to continue.. Now the Punjab King yuvraj came into the crease.. Yuvi and Kohli played really well.. Yuvraj Singh lost his wicket after complete his 9th half century.. Now Suresh Raina came to join with Kohli.. Kohli complete his 3rd century with outstanding performance.. Raina start to fire after the dismissal of Yuvi.. He smashed 3 fours in Hopes over.. He continue his aggressive batting style.. Hastings took two wickets in the last stage of the match put some pressure on Indians..
But Raina finish of the things in his own style.. S Tiwary strick two fours in MA Starc over to reach the target set by Aussies.. On the inauguration M Clarke says" C White's innings was unbelievable. We thought 290 was enough in this pitch. But India Chased well.. Fantastic job did by J Hastings and M Hussey.. Starc has a very bright future for Australia.. We're very disappointed with the result..
MS Dhoni says" Yuvraj and Kohli got us back in the game.. Raina supported Kohli well in the end.. I thought the spinners would get more turn but it turned out to be much flatter. Suresh Raina at the crease with one Powerplay to go i knew we had a chance. We have eight to ten games before the World cup and we want to achieve more than just winning the games..
Kohli named Man of the Match for his brilliant knock.
