Mitchell
Starc
was
at
his
brutal
best
on
a
pitch
helpful
for
the
pacer.
He
dismissed
opener
Shubman
Gill
for
a
2-ball
duck
before
getting
rid
of
Rohit
Sharma
in
the
fifth
over.
The
left-arm
pacer
dismissed
Suryakumar
Yadav
for
a
golden
duck
on
the
very
next
delivery,
trapping
him
in
front
of
the
stumps
for
the
second
consecutive
time.
The
right-hand
batter
had
lasted
for
one
ball
in
the
first
ODI
in
Mumbai
as
well.
KL
Rahul,
India’s
star
of
the
last
match,
was
Starc’s
fourth
victim.
The
Karnataka
star
was
also
caught
in
front
of
the
stumps
on
another
searing
delivery
from
the
New
South
Wales
pacer.
Even
before
India
could
recover
from
the
blow,
vice-captain
Hardik
Pandya
departed
in
the
next
over
courtesy
a
superhuman
catch
from
Steve
Smith
in
slip.
For
the
entire
duration
Virat
Kohli
kept
on
watching
the
batters
come
and
go
from
one
end.
With
India
five
down
for
49
in
five
overs.
Ravindra
Jadeja
and
Kohli
partnered
for
22
runs
before
Nathan
Ellis
struck
for
the
first
time.
Kohli
missed
a
straight
delivery
while
trying
to
whip
it
square
and
was
adjudged
lbw
out
by
umpire
Nitin
Menon.
Jadeja
also
fell
to
the
same
bowler
in
the
20th
over.
Extra
bounce
generated
an
edge
off
Jadeja’s
bat
which
landed
straight
into
the
gloves
of
Alex
Carey.
India
lost
their
eighth
and
ninth
wicket
in
the
25th
over
as
Sean
Abbott
struck
twice
to
dismiss
Mohammed
Shami
(0
off
1)
and
Kuldeep
Yadav
(4
off
17).
Stranded
on
one
end,
in-form
Axar
cut
himself
loose
in
the
25th
over
to
hit
two
sixes
off
the
first
two
deliveries
from
Starc.
The
southpaw
took
a
single
on
the
fourth
delivery
but
Mohammed
Siraj
(0
off
3)
could
not
survive
the
two
balls
and
was
castled
by
the
Starc
who
completed
his
ninth
five-wicket
haul
in
ODIs.
The

India

an
