Cricket is a game of love and emotions, it is full of excitement and the end of every inning is very very thrilling. In the three ODIs that India played against Australia, Australia managed to lead with 2-1 and win the series to their name. Even so, the Indian cricket team and we as a nation got to enjoy some very memorable moments within the game.

The top 5 best moments for team India will be: –

  1. Natarajan’s performance – Everyone was keen to know how this youngster will perform on his debut ODI match. Natarajan made his debut in the 3rd and last ODI last and performed brilliantly. On account of Natarajan’s wicket, India at last figured out how to break their six-match long wicketless streak in the first powerplay in ODI cricket.
  2. Bumrah taking wickets – Recently, Bumrah seemed out of touch and we saw him going for a lot of runs. Given that he is number one in the world, it was hard to see him take the beatings, but even so, he managed to take wickets in each of the 3 ODIs, and watching Bumrah’s wickets is always satisfying.
  3. Jadeja-Hardik Allround duo – Since the absence of MS Dhoni, Indian team management was in search of someone who can finish the inning well at the end. Falling behind at 152/5, Team India was gazing at a humiliating worse than average all out when Hardik Pandya (92*) and Ravindra Jadeja (66*) rescued their group. The Indian all-rounders sewed an unbeaten combined score of 150 runs for the 6th wicket which assumed a critical function in India posting a defendable score of 302 runs.
  4. Virat is back in form – After having another loss in the IPL, Virat Kohli, the captain seemed to have lost his form and class. In the ODI matches and also the T20 matches that he played, he performed above average in both formats. He played some classy shots as well as some powerful shots that were a treat to watch.
  5. The proposal – Yes!! There was a marriage proposal in the stadium, during the second ODI between India and Australia. A man wearing an Indian jersey went down on one knee and proposed to his darling. The young lady said ‘yes’ to the proposal as the players appreciated a lovely moment in the match.
