India, the T20 world champions never seemed to play like the world T20 champions. India succumbed to a low score of 74 which was too less to defend. The downfall started with the classic dismissal of Virendar Sehwag by Michael Clarke with a classic run out from backward point. India for a moment was on the verge of making the lowest total in T20, but some how scraped through to pass the total of 73, the lowest till date in T20 game by Kenya against New Zealand. To say simply, India thrashed a billion people's expectations.
India did not have Yuvi on its side who always came to India's rescue in T20 at the time of need. Nevertheless, dhoni also proved ineffective with 9(27). Only Pathan scored 26(30) to help India get to that decent score.
Australians were off to a flier with the openers Gilli and Clarke. It was a one sided contest with no fight from the Indians in all departments of the game. Clarke, the stand-in captain set an example as he led Australia to their maiden victory in T20 game against India.
India - 74/10 (17.3 ov)
Australia - 75/1 (11.2 ov)
Probably many would now be thinking - what would have happened had the seniors been a part if this team ? Keep thinking and hope we all get an answer in the next T20 encounter.
