KL Rahul’s Lucky Stumping Gets Better Of Marnus Labuschagne In India vs Australia First ODI, SEE HERE

Marnus Labuschagne was defeated by KL Rahul thanks to a fortunate stumping during India’s first ODI match against Australia at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. On Friday, a reverse sweep attempt by the right-handed batter during the game was unsuccessful. Labuschagne was caught outside of his crease when the ball ricocheted off of wicketkeeper Rahul’s pad and onto the stumps. Additionally, it was Ravichandran Ashwin’s first ODI wicket since January 19, 2022.

With excellent stats of 5 for 51, Mohammed Shami reminded everyone of his prowess while assisting India in holding Australia to 276 in the first ODI.
With his second five-wicket haul in ODIs, Shami, who doesn’t appear to be in India’s first XI plans for the World Cup, sent a message.

His performance also put a tonne of pressure on Shardul Thakur, the weakest link among pacers (0/78 in 10 overs), who was mostly chosen for the 15 owing to his batting abilities.

When David Warner had just gotten off the starting blocks, Shreyas Iyer dropped a dolly at mid-off, which Shardul would consider unfortunate.

In favorable conditions for batting, India captain Rahul decided to bowl instead. Shami was virtually unplayable in his opening spell, and he returned in a brief second stint to dismiss a set Steve Smith (41 off 60 balls), breaking the momentum of the visiting team.

Stocky wicketkeeper Jos Inglis (45 off 45 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (29 off 21 balls) contributed 62 runs for the sixth wicket to help Australia over 250 runs, but it was undoubtedly below average because Shami bowled Stoinis just in time to stop their scoring.

Warner (52 off 53 balls), Smith, and Labuschagne (39 off 49 balls) all got off to strong starts, but the Australians were harmed by their inability to convert on a day when the Indian bowling unit was incredibly efficient but not particularly strong.

Ravichandran Ashwin (1/47 in 10 overs) was the center of attention, and while appearing rusty in the first session, he did rediscover his rhythm in the second. In his first six overs, he took 36 wickets for 36 runs, then Rahul changed ends in the second stint, making it read 4-0-11-1.
