As Jason Behrendorff got off the plane at the Guwahati Airport on a cool Monday evening, he might well have been warmed by the memories from six years ago.
In the first ever international game at the ACA Stadium here, the left-arm seamer was the ‘Player-of-the-Match’, in the second T20I of that India-Australia series. He had taken four for 21, in only his second international game; among his victims were Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Cut to the present, Behrendorff has had to sit out during the second T20I at Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, as the visitors chose to play two spinners. They didn’t gain much from the change of strategy against an intimidating young Indian top-order.
