NEW DELHI: Australian bowler and all-rounder Sean Abbott revealed that David Warner employed a unique tactic of batting right-handed against R Ashwin in the second ODI due to the significant turn generated by the Indian spinner on the Indore pitch. Despite Warner's innovative approach, Australia struggled as India posted a formidable total of 399 for five, securing an unassailable lead in the three-match series.
"Warner played some audacious strokes batting both left and right-handed. He is known for his innovative strokeplay including reverse hits but he took that to the next level on Sunday when he resorted to bat with a right-hander's stance while facing Ashwin," explained Abbott.
