A step closer to whitewash
There will be no let-up in intensity as a ruthless India look to inch closer to yet another series whitewash when they take on a beleaguered Australia in the fourth One-day International here on Thursday.
Bengaluru: There will be no let-up in intensity as a ruthless India look to inch closer to yet another series whitewash when they take on a beleaguered Australia in the fourth One-day International here on Thursday.
Virat Kohli’s team is going through a dream phase and if yesterday’s training session at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium was any indication, the winning streak is most likely to continue.
The fate of the five-match series was decided after India swept aside Australia in the first three matches, leaving the possibility of an embarrassing whitewash hanging over the tourists’ heads.
A very good thing about this Indian batting line-up is that each batsman has managed to contribute to the team’s cause when the chips were down. When the top-order failed in the series opener, the middle and lower-order guided the team to safety. Both, though, clicked in the third ODI.
Australia have lost 11 ODIs in a row away from home, with the exception of two washouts, albeit with eight of those defeats coming against South Africa and India.
Even as Australia struggle to search for answers to contain a rampaging Indian team, one of their biggest concerns has been the failure of the big—hitting Glenn Maxwell.
Thunderstorms are forecast on match day, but fans would be hoping that the rain stays away.Teams (from): India: Virat Kohli (capt), Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav,
