[Saba Sports News] In the opening matches of their respective tournaments, Australia decided to bat first after winning the toss.
Although they faced an early setback with the dismissal of Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith displayed remarkable form at the crease. The Indian team had devoted considerable time and effort to devising a strategy to dismiss Smith, and their diligent planning paid off when Ravindra Jadeja executed a flawless delivery that dismantled Smith’s stumps.
As Smith began his walk back to the pavilion, the expressions exchanged between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma spoke volumes, seemingly conveying an unspoken “I told you so” sentiment.
This silent exchange among the Indian cricketing giants underscored the successful execution of their game plan and added a fascinating layer of intrigue to the match.
