Rahul, Padikkal steady India

November 22, 2024 08:38

India 14-1 (10 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

First bowling change as captain Pat Cummins comes into the attack in place of Hazlewood, who had a short tidy burst of three overs with the new ball.

He starts with the back of length delivery which swings away and bounces but the line is too wide to make Rahul play, who defends the next.

The third ball is full and close to the off-stump line as Rahul defends but is beaten on the outside edge and taps the next on the leg side.

Rahul gets a thick outside edge off the last ball which stays low and goes past the gully fielder for two runs.

Starc with a beauty, getting the back of length ball to swing away from the middle stump to beat Padikkal, who tries to defend.

The next ball is down the leg side as the left-hander misses the flick this time.

The pacer misses his radar as he bowls a big wide on the off-side to gift India an extra run.

Another full delivery as Padikkal again misses the flick as the ball goes off the pads to the wicketkeeper and steers the back of length ball to the fielder at gully.

Cummins continues as Rahul leaves the first ball and defends the next off the backfoot.

Rahul has been quite solid with his defence as he blocks Cummins watchfully. Some late away movement for the pacer as Rahul looks to defend but pulls his bat out of the line and defends the last ball.

India are 14/1 in 10 overs with Rahul on 8 and Padikkal yet to get off the mark from 17 balls.
