While the world’s number 1 ranked T20I batter wasn’t the only one who struggled against Starc, but Suryakumar’s repeated failures in the ODI format meant that he was walking on thin ice. Indian fans were not at all impressed with Surya’s displays and some fans even demanded that Sanju Samson should be given a ‘permanent’ place in the Indian middle order.

Meanwhile, India has surrendered on 117/10 within 26 overs. None of the Indian batters managed to convert their start to a big total with Virat Kohli being the highest run-scorer after amassing 31 runs. For Australia, ace pacer Mitchell Starc completed an excellent five-wicket haul.
