NEW DELHI: From tottering at 2/3 to orchestrating a come-from-behind win - that's how Team India kicked off their ICC ODI World Cup 2023 campaign against Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
India lost three early wickets, including skipper Rohit Sharma for a duck, inside two overs. Left-arm quick Mitchell Starc struck in the first over to send back Ishan Kishan for a duck after the left-hander slashed at a delivery to get caught at slip. Josh Hazlewood then struck twice in one over to remove Rohit lbw on an incoming delivery and then Shreyas Iyer caught at covers also for naught.
