5 Reasons why India lost the first ODI against Australia

#4 Australia’s lethal fast bowlers

Richardson was sensational with the ball

Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson got the nod as the Australian selectors rested Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood after a strenuous Test series for the trio.

Both the newcomers grabbed the opportunity with both hands and won Australia the game. Behnrendorff bowled a brilliant length throughout the match and did not give Indian batsmen any looseners to hit.

He got the important wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and the well set M.S Dhoni. But the star of the match was Jhye Richardson who rattled the Indian top order with two quick wickets. Richardson got the ball to move in both ways after pitching and the Indian batsmen struggled to get a hold of him.

He then came back to remove Dinesh Karthik and Ravindra Jadeja and put away any hopes of an Indian comeback. Richardson finished with match-winning figures of 4/26 from his quota of 10 overs.
