“Rahul showed a lot of maturity, and Hardik got back to his all-around best,” says Zaheer Khan of India’s good points after losing the ODI series to Australia.

The ODI series between India and Australia was finally over when Australia beat India by a large margin. After winning their last two games, the Men in Yellow beat the home team. Rohit Sharma didn’t play for India in the first ODI, so Hardik Pandya led the team and got them the win in the first match. After that, Steve Smith’s team, Australia, beat India at home in the last two matches with a strong comeback. Former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan recently spoke out about the ODI series between both teams.

“For me, the turning point of the final match was when KL Rahul was out. He was out just as things were looking bad, after he and Virat Kohli had put up 69 runs for the third wicket. He was one of many who got caught because they went for the big hit when the wicket and the situation of the game called for caution and old-fashioned play “Zaheer Khan wrote in his LinkedIn post.

“India probably also made a mistake by making too many changes to their batting order in a high-stakes decider. I won’t worry too much about Surya’s three golden ducks in a row, though. The same 360-degree Surya has recently taken over the world of Twenty20 cricket “he added.

Even though we lost the series, there were still a lot of good things: Zaheer Khan

After thinking about what India could have done better in the last game of the series and talking about Yadav’s two golden ducks in a row, Zaheer also talked about the good things about the series.

“Even though we lost the series, there were still a lot of good things about it. Rahul showed a lot of maturity when he brought India home from a dangerous 16 for 3 in the first game of the series in Mumbai. Hardik’s return to top form as an all-rounder since coming back from injury and Ravindra Jadeja’s continued rise as a batsman were also big pluses for India “Zaheer wrote.
