Starc's double blow rocks India

Mon, 16 December 2024

India 7-2 (3 Ovs) vs Aus 445 | Scorecard

Starc tempts Gill with a full delivery outside off, and Gill goes for it. He drives hard, but the ball flies to Marsh's left at gully. Marsh leaps and snares it mid-air.

Gill departs for just 1 off 3 balls, leaving India in trouble. Starc strikes twice, dealing India a double blow.

Virat Kohli is the new batter, and the noise in the stadium rises as Starc charges in. Kohli defends the first two balls and gets off the mark with a single. Rahul then defends the last ball of the over. After 3 overs, India are 7-2.
