India have secured their 500th victory after managing to defeat Australia in the second ODI by 8 runs. Vijay Shankar bowled the last over with 11 required of it and cleaned up the dangerous Stoinis and Zampa to win the match by 8 runs.
Bumrah was very effective with the ball as he picked up 2 wickets along with Kuldeep Yadav who went for some runs but picked up 3. Kedar Jadhav also bowled 8 confident overs.
Virat Kohli has been named the 'Man of the Match' for his 40th ODI ton.
Speaking on the pressure over Shankar had to bowl, he said, "It was an opportunity to redeem myself after the expensive over I bowled. I was literally waiting for this opportunity, wanted to bowl under pressure because only if I deliver, they will trust me. I was upto the challenge. Around the 43rd over, I was telling myself that I am bowling the final over and just prepared myself a bit. It's about staying clear mentally. Wanted to just stick to the basics, hit the stumps from a hard length as there was a bit of reverse. When you play for the country, you have to be ready to do what the team needs. I always say to myself to keep working on all aspects of my game so that when the opportunity arrives, I am ready to grab it. Yes, it was good, timed the ball well and rotating the strike well. I was confident of doing well and we (him and Kohli) had a good partnership."
