DK’s Prophetic words
Meanwhile, Dinesh’s words about Chennai’s pitch and Ravindra Jadeja’s performance turned out to be prophetic as Indian spinners received significant assistance from the Chepuk Pitch during the match against Australia on Sunday.
Thanks to the heroic spells by the Indian bowling unit, the men in blue managed to bowl out the mighty Aussies with just 199 runs (49.3 overs) on the board.
Although every Indian bowler gave a tough time to the Australians in Chennai, it was Ravindra Jadeja who stood out from the rest and walked away with the glory by taking three crucial wickets in his 10 over-long spell.
The 34-year-old left-arm spinner started his attack by claiming the wicket of Steven Smith in the 28th over of the game. He then went on the dismiss Marnus Labuschagne and Alex Carry to break down the spine of the Aussie batting attack.
Besides Jadega, pacer Jasprit Bumrah and spinner Kuldeep Yadav also showcased their exceptional bowling skills by claiming 2 wickets each.

Out of the 10 Participating Nations, the wicketkeeper picked host India, defending champion England, 5-time championship Australia, and 1-time champion Pakistan as the 4 most probable finalists of the tournament.
While India began their World Cup journey on a high note by defeating mighty Australia with 6 wickets to spare in their opening game of the tournament in Chenni’s P Chidambram Stadiums on Sunday, England received a crushing defeat against their arch-rival New Zealand who won the World cup’s opening game by beating the defending champions with 9 wickets in Ahmadabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday.
