Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood does not believe Virat Kohli’s dropped catch cost Australia their World Cup opener against India, even though the star batter went on to score 85 as part of a match-winning partnership.
After Australia were bowled out for just 199 runs in 49.3 overs in the first innings in Chennai, they bounced back with a superb start with the ball, removing three Indian batsmen within the first two overs. In the eighth over of India’s chase, Australia had a golden opportunity to send Kohli back when he had scored just 12 runs. But Mitchell Marsh dropped a relatively straightforward catch.
