Australia vs India, 1st ODI: 3 Australian players who impressed the most

#1 Jhye Richardson

Jhye Richardson

Jhye Richardson, the right-arm fast medium bowler for Australia, bowled a superb first spell and took his first 2 wickets without conceding a run. Jason Behrendorff took another wicket with the new ball as India were tottering at 4/3. Virat Kohli’s dismissal was a planned one as Richardson kept bowling at his legs with a fielder at short mid-wicket. Stoinis made no mistake in taking the catch as Kohli could not keep his on-drive to the ground.

Richardson impressed with his angular run-up and upright seam position. He also bowled a very good line and length and took 2 more wickets with the older ball. He was playing in his 5th ODI only, but looked like a seasoned campaigner while bowling to the much-vaunted Indian batting line-up.

However, he would have to keep up the good work as the Indian batsmen are likely to come hard at him in the upcoming ODIs.
