Jason Behrendorff produced high quality spell of fast bowling as he ripped India apart in second t20 in Guwahati yesterday, and gave his team a chance to level the series.
Rohit Sharma was the first one to go back in the hut after he was trapped in front of the stumps for 8 by Behrendorff on the fourth delivery of the first over. Captain Kohli followed his deputy just after two deliveries after failing to open his account.
Playing only his second T20I game, Jason Behrendorff removed Kohli with a caught and bowled after he tried to play a good-length delivery across the line but failed to execute the shot. It hit him on the pads and popped in the air. Behrendroff ran hard in forward direction and caught the ball safely. Initially, it appeared to be an LBW but the UltraEdge showed a spike and the Indian skipper was out caught and bowled.
Manish Pandey tried to steady things for the home side along with Kedar Jadhav but his stay became a brief one after edging a length delivery to give a sitter to Tim Paine behind the stumps. Pandey was out for 6. Dhawan was the fourth victim for left-handed pacer as he came down the track and tried to go over mid off but only mis-timed his shot completely and was caught by Warner who took a blinder after running back to dismiss the Indian batsman for two.
His sensational bowling set up a much needed victory for Australia, as they chased down the score of 118 for the loss of only two wickets, with almost five overs to spare.
