Aussies struggling against Kuldeep, Chahal is good for India: Rahane
Speaking on the eve of his side's crucial third ODI against Australia in Indore, Indian opener Ajinky Rahane has said that his side are taking one game at a time and are not taking their opposition for granted despite dominating the ongoing five-match series so far.A clinical spell from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah early on, and crippling strikes from Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal afterwards, ended the visiting side's hopes of levelling the series as India proved their dominance once again with a 50-run win over Australia in Kolkata to go 2-0 up.
Left-arm chinaman Kuldeep struck a hat-trick and became only the third Indian to achieve the feat in ODIs, following in the footsteps of Chetan Sharma and Kapil Dev.Chahal, on the other hand, bagged two wickets while giving away just 34 runs.Rahane, who is opening the batting for India in the ongoing series in Shikhar Dhawan's absence, joined forces with skipper Virat Kohli and went on to share a crucial 102-run stand for the second wicket to guide India to a respectable total of 252.
He struck seven boundaries in his 55-run knock off 64 balls.
