India’s performance in the second ODI against Australia in Visakhapatnam was forgettable, as the hosts were bowled out for 117. Mitchell Marsh (66 not out) and Travis Head (51 not out) led Australia to a 10-wicket victory by guiding their team to victory in just 11 overs. Mitchell Starc, a bowler, made the most significant contribution to the victory by collecting his ninth five-wicket haul and wreaking havoc on India’s batting order. Starc’s scorching pace was too much for batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and KL Rahul, and they flopped terribly.
Australia benefits greatly from having Starc, a left-arm seamer. Ravichandran Ashwin, a seasoned all-rounder for India, has said that the team has been unable to find a suitable replacement for pacer Zaheer Khan after Khan’s retirement. He went on to say that the lack of a left-handed seamer is causing the Indian batting lineup significant difficulties.
“After Zaheer Khan’s retirement, India has struggled to find a suitable replacement left-arm bowler. Because a left-arm seamer alters the game’s mechanics, it would be pointless to complain that fighting him is a challenge. When Trent Boult swung the ball and got rid of Virat Kohli in the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup, the game was suddenly over “said Ashwin on his online video platform.
“When viewed from this perspective, things are very different. Virat Kohli will face Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Umesh Yadav while batting in the nets. Every single one of them is an outstanding bowler. A left-arm seamer quickly brings the stumps into action when he bowls from over them. To what extent do right-arm seamers contribute to the current inswing? Not having a left-arm seamer makes it difficult for us to exert pressure on the opposition “Furthermore, he said.
Ashwin continued his effusive praise of Starc by saying that, in terms of ODI cricket, the latter has surpassed the greatness of Australia’s Brett Lee.
“Mitchell Starc, according to Shaun Tait, has the potential to be a great of all time. In my opinion, though, he has moved beyond that point. As a nation, Australia has produced its fair share of legends, including Glenn McGrath. Nevertheless, Starc is on the level with Brett Lee in ODI appearances. In my opinion, Starc is now more famous in ODI cricket than Brett Lee was “His comment was as follows.
