Nagpur, March 7: Team India produced yet another scintillating performance as they defeated a listless Australia by 8 runs in the second ODI here on Tuesday to go 2-nil up in the five-match series.

All-rounder Vijay Shankar and captain Virat Kohli were the stars for India in what was the second low-scoring thriller in a row. With 11 required from the last six balls rookie, Shankar, conceded just three in 3 deliveries and struck two wickets to bundle Australia for 242.

Here are the Sterling Reserve Moments of the Match:

Rookie Shankar shows his mettle in the final over!

No sooner than the Vijay Shankar rocked the stumps of Adam Zampa, Team India and thousands of spectators at VCA Stadium broke into celebration. Australia had two wickets in hand but Shankar spent just 3 deliveries to hand his team a famous win. Men In Blue's turn-around victory celebration is our First Sterling Moment of the Match.

Kohli takes another step towards greatness!

Virat Kohli took another giant leap towards establishing himself as one of the all-time greats as he slammed his 40th ODI century. The run machine played a brilliant cut shot towards deep backward point off Nathan Coulter-Nile to get to his hundred. He's now only behind Sachin Tendulkar's 40 ODI tons. The Indian skipper reaching to his 40th-century is the second Sterling Moment of the Match.

You don't mess with 'Sir Jadeja'!

Ravindra Jadeja is the best fielder in the world cricket and Peter Handscomb paid the price for taking him for granted. As the Aussie batsmen decided to sneak a single under his watch, Jadeja swiftly collected the ball quickly and targetted the non-striker's end in no time. Handscomb found himself way short of his crease and made his descent towards the pavilion. Jadeja's electric throw was the third Sterling Moment of the Match.

Captain cool turns funny!

MS Dhoni is known for his athleticism and alertness on the field. A crazy Dhoni fan, who invaded the field, got the taste of his quickness. The iconic cricketer, who is often frequented by crazy fans during the matches, dodged the over-enthusiastic fan and made him huff and puff before allowing him to touch him. Mahi's playful act with a fan was another Sterling Moment of the Match.
