Most Five-Wicket Hauls in ODIs: Mitchell Starc Goes Level In Third With Fifer in India vs Australia 2nd ODI

With
figures
of
5
for
52,
Starc
achieved
the
feat
during
the
India
vs
Australia
2nd
ODI
at
the
Dr
YS
Rajasekhara
Reddy
Stadium
in
Visakhapatnam
as
the
left-arm
pacer
ran
through
the
Indian
batting
order,
bundling
them
out
for
117
in
26
overs.

The
33-year-old
first
got
rid
of
Indian
opener
Shubam
Gill
caught
at
backward
point
by
Marnus
Labuschagne
for
a
second-ball
duck
in
the
first
over
before
a
spectacular
catch
at
second
slip
by
Steve
Smith
helped
send
skipper
Rohit
Sharma
back
into
the
pavilion
for
13.

Starc
continued
to
torment
in
the
Indian
batters
especially
Suryakumar
Yadav,
who
was
trapped
LBW
of
an
inswinging
delivery
for
a
golden
duck
in
the
second
successive
match.
First
ODI’s
hero
for
India,
KL
Rahul
also
fell
in
similar
fashion,
but
for
9
runs.

In
the
end,
Starc
returned
to
wrap
up
the
Indian
innings
as
he
castled
Mohammed
Siraj
for
a
third-ball
duck,
taking
his
tally
of
five-wicket
hauls
to
9,
equal
with
Lee
and
Afridi.
He
is
now
only
behind
greats
of
the
game
Waqar
Younis
and
Muttiah
Muralitharan.
