New Delhi: The India-Australia ODI in Chennai on Sunday started in a dramatic fashion as Nathan Coulter-Nile bagged three wickets in quick time. It was first Ajinkya Rahane for five, then Virat Kohli for a duck and finally Manish Pandey also for nought.
Pandey’s dismissal even had the on-field umpire Marais Erasmus confused. See it for yourself below:
