Prasidh Krishna rattled Australia’s top order with 2 back to back strikes and was on a hattrick. Tasked to chase a massive total of 400 runs, Australia went on the back foot when Prasidh Krishna shone with the new ball. Krishna used the best opportunity when getting a chance to feature and he came out strongly.
Prasidh Krishna got drafted into the Indian Playing XI after Jasprit Bumrah missed the game by taking a short trip to his home. While Mohammed Shami was hit for 2 boundaries on his first over, it was the 27-year-old Prasidh Krishna who came out strong with the new ball. He went on to dismiss Matthew Short and then the dangerous Steve Smith in back-to-back deliveries.

Prasidh Krishna Dismissals
- 1.2 – WICKET – Prasidh Krishna bags the first wicket of the game. A length ball pitched up and turned away from the right-hander. Pitched outside off, Matthew Short has a dash towards the ball. He swings his bat wildly and to the off side. The ball takes a thick outside edge from the bat and flies to the third-man region. Ever-young Ravichandran Ashwin darts towards the ball and takes a running catch to claim the first Aussie wicket.
- 1.3 – WICKET – 2 in 2 for Prasidh Krishna as he scalps the dangerous Steve Smith. A back-of-a-length delivery with a small turn. Steve Smith makes a desperate attempt to hit the ball with the bat. But the extra swing from the ball does the damage. A thick outside edge and Shubman Gill placed in the slips take a catch.
Coming to the game, the rain again brought the game to a brief half. After the end of 9 overs, Australia are placed at 56/2.
