We Are Satisfied As A Team: Shubman Gill
While speaking during the post-match presentation, Indian opener Shubman Gill said that the Indian team was satisfied with their performance.
“Yeah it feels good. We are satisfied as a team. We have the momentum at the right time”, the right-handed batsman said.
Shubman Gill started slow in IND vs AUS 2nd ODI. Later, he gained momentum and shattered 4 sixes and 6 fours to gather 104 runs in his kitty at a strike rate of 107+. Speaking about the same, the 23-year-old said he has the confidence that he can cover up his strike rate later.
“It depends on the situation, there is definitely some confidence that I can cover up later, I have that confidence because I am scoring at the moment. Yeah, definitely with the way KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav played, they kept the momentum going. 400 on any ground is tough to chase, and the bowlers did the task,” Shubman Gill added.

Other than Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul were outstanding performers in the match. While Rahul added 52 off 38, Yadav stormed 72 runs off 32 balls with 6 sixes and 6 boundaries to accelerate the scoreboard towards the end.
During the chase, Australia succumbed to India’s bowling attack. Mathew Short (9) and Steve Smith (0) became victims of Prasidh Krishna on consecutive deliveries. David Warner (53) scored another fifty in the series while Sean Abbott (54) also hit a half-century.
However, Australia were bowled out for 217-10, losing the game by 99 runs. They were given a DLS target of 317 as the match was affected by rain. Spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja hunted 3 wickets each. With a 2-0 lead in the three-match series, India has already sealed the series in their favour with one more game to go.
