India defeated Australia by six wickets in their first match of the World Cup 2023. With this victory, Rohit Sharma's team has made a winning start. However, after Australia was bundled out for 199, it seemed that the Indian team would win easily, but it did not happen. Australia made a strong comeback and lost three wickets for two runs in the first two overs. Captain Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Shreyas Iyer returned to the pavilion without opening the account.
After this, Virat Kohli also took the catch in the eighth over of the Indian innings, but Mitchell Marsh dropped that catch. Taking advantage of this gift of life, Kohli played a match-winning inning of 85 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin has talked about this entire incident. He said that he stood in one place throughout the match and moved there only after Team India's victory.
Ashwin's statement after three wickets fell for two runs
Talking to the official broadcaster after the match, Ashwin explained the situation after three wickets fell for two runs and said - When I saw that Virat Kohli's ball went in the air, I ran out of the dressing room. I came out of the dressing room. I was thinking of waking me up when everything was over. It's a World Cup match against Australia so you can't expect anything to be easy. This is a big match and when you bowl out the other team for 199 runs, do you think we would have won easily? I ran back into the dressing room and then heard the crowd shouting. I stood in one place during the entire match. Because of this, my legs have started hurting now.
Ashwin's statement regarding the pitch
After getting a lease of life, Kohli along with KL Rahul made a partnership of 165 runs for the fourth wicket and almost ensured the victory for India. Hardik and Rahul have completed the right task. Rahul ended the match with a six. He remained unbeaten after scoring 97 runs. Talking about the pitch, Ashwin said- I have played a lot of cricket in Chennai. It is completely different from the regular pitch in Chennai, which has a lot of cracks. You saw how Hazlewood and the Australian team bowled in the second innings. We were a little worried about what the outcome would be. People here always support their country. It was good that we lost the toss and after getting the bowling, Ravindra Jadeja wreaked havoc.
What did Ashwin say about being selected for the team?
On adjusting to this pitch, Ashwin said- It is difficult for the bowlers to bowl at a particular pace here. It's about correcting sidespin and overspin, getting the body in the right position. All these things have to be taken care of. It usually takes about six to eight balls for me to get it right. On being selected for this tournament, Ashwin said- These are sudden events for me. I was resting at home. After getting the call from the team, I played a few club games, but Rohit and Rahul (Dravid) told me that if any problem arises, we will contact you. I just told him jokingly that I hope you never come back to me.
