Sean Abbott took 2 wickets in 2 consecutive balls, first to Kuldeep Yadav and second to Mohammed Shami.
Two players have been left out of Team India’s playing-11. There is a chance of rain during the second ODI, due to which the second batting team will be at an advantage. After winning the first match by five wickets, the Indian team has a golden opportunity to clinch the series by winning this match. Captain Rohit Sharma is back for the second ODI.
