Sydney, November 29: After a 66-run thrashing on Friday (November 27), Team India look to bounce back when they lock horns with Australia in the second ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Sunday (November 29).
India's battered bowling unit will have little time to regroup and limited resources at its disposal in a desperate bid to perform a redemption act and save the ODI series.
While Australia's all-rounders stepped up in the first encounter, India didn't have any to show for as Hardik Pandya, who fired with the bat didn't bowl and is not expected to anytime soon. So, Virat Kohli's team will definitely need to rethink about how they find a bowling option.
Without the sixth bowling option, team India persisted with the five available although they were taken to the cleaners by the Aussie batting. So, how will Kohli and co find the balance as they aim to level the series?
