An innings that's very hard to describe from @Gmaxi_32<\/a> – so let's just say very, very entertaining! #OhWhatAFeeling<\/a>@Toyota_Aus<\/a> | #AUSvIND<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/LiGRpbWotZ<\/a><\/p>\n

Skipper Aaron Finch, back in the side from injury, was removed by Washington Sunday for naught while Steve Smith made 24 off 23. Sundar took 2-34 while Thangarasu Natarajan and Shardul Thakur claimed one each.<\/p>\n

India lost K.L. Rahul on the second ball of the inning off Glenn Maxwell as he hit straight into the hands of Smith at mid-wicket.<\/p>\n

Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli rescued a bad start by positing a 74-run stand off 49 balls. The 27-year-old Swepson sparked in the middle overs by removing their three main batsmen Dhawan (28), Sanju Samson (10), Shreyas Iyer (0). Swepson finished with figures of 3\/23.<\/p>\n

The Star of the second game, Hardik Pandya couldn’t trouble the Aussies as he was dismissed by Adam Zampa. He made 20 off 13 which included a four and two sixes.<\/p>\n

Kohli tried his best to take India home but a brilliant catch by Daniel Sams at backward point tarnished India’s dream of clean sweeping Australia at their own backyard.<\/p>\n

\n

Is that the game? Tye gets the huge wicket of Kohli! <\/p>\n
