India vs Australia 2019: 5 reasons that led to India's failure in the ODI series

#1 Australia find unlikely heroes

Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb were dominant with the bat

For once, let us appreciate the efforts from the opposition side. Even though the Australian side started the ODI series in the back foot with two straight losses, it was clear that they had worthy players to pull things back. What followed in the next three games just proved that. While Khawaja and Handscomb were the mainstays with the bat, the trio of Cummins, Richardson and Zampa nailed it with the ball.

It is worthy to note that Nathan Coulter Nile's travel back home has led to inclusion of Jhye Richardson in the playing XI which became a welcome change. Zampa bowled brilliantly in the last game dismissing the key batsmen and Cummins has been at his brutal best all throughout the series.
