India vs Australia, 5th ODI, Australia tour of India, 2019 - CommentaryIND vs AUS, 5th ODI, Australia tour of India, 2019 - Commentary

Harsha Bhogle: It is a wonderful achievement by Australia to come back from 0-2 down to win a series. The two teams started from either end of the results spectrum, India on a high and Australia in the dumps, and Australia gained more from this series.

Suvodip Banik: "Someone from the tail need to play a Isuru Udana here alongside Kedar to win it for India." - Oh yes, that was a blinder. Perhaps even literally so.

Sangam: "Where’s the dew? I guess India needs dew along with Kedar to win the match!"

Rakesh: "You realize the importance of Dhoni in these kind of matches."

Jay: "If India can win from here on, hands down, India has the best team in the world."

Harsha Bhogle: India's World Cup hopefuls haven't sealed their spots.......

Adhi: "Rohit needs to turn beast mode on and start his carnage from now."

Arun: "If India can win from here, they are genuine contenders for the World Cup!" - Hear Hear.

Pradeep Reddy: "All three Delhi batsmen are back to dressing room. India in need of a big partnership now."

AC: "Really weird seeing Rishabh Pant trying to hang in there. Not his style really but perhaps he is trying to hit big today, could be the last chance he gets and he should make the most out of it."

Syamantak: "Virat can hit a century" - Poor timing, my friend.

Prathamesh T: "How's the dew?" - It's still...due...to arrive.

Vicky: "How hard is this on KL Rahul. Really feel very bad for him. Not even once he has played a couple of games in a row. Not able to watch such a talent on bench!" - Yep, certainly rather hard on him, but Kohli reckons that this combination is well-balanced.

Rishikesh: "Bumrah has been terrible this series." - Now now, don't let recency bias get the better of you.

Harsha Bhogle: The slowness of the pitch and some excellent bowling has made batting difficult and the total below where it was headed. But won't be easy to chase if there isn't any dew.

Baba: "The economy of Bumrah == Test match." - Someone's deep into the coding realm.

Aswin Rajaram: "With Jadeja in the playing XI, there is always something happening. He can save 5-10 runs in the field, take some running catches and of course, the run outs."

Shivadarshan: "Jadeja! 10 overs for 45 Runs 2 wickets !! Is Excellent, and proves he has matured with experience!"

MT: "This has to be India's best seam bowling 'unit' ever. Indian batting needs to play more responsibly so as to play Bhuvi, Bumrah and Shami at the same time."

dipen: Seems a bit weird to me that Kuldeep hasn't bowled his googlies as often today. Started with one to Aaron Finch but not very many others.

Abhishek: Ponting's dream of seeing Khawaja as the leading run scorer in an India vs Australia series is gonna come true I guess

Asif Seraj: We have not reached the 30 over mark and everyone has adjudged Kohli's captaincy as poor. We should not jump over the conclusion too soon.

Kuldeep Pathak: India are loosing the plot here. They have no clue to Khawaja's reverse sweeps. Hayden did it back in 2001 and Khawaja is doing it now. He might as well sweep his way to Man of the series award as well.

Harsha Bhogle: This is an excellent start from Australia. The alarms after the Finch dismissal have gone. Khawaja is in prime form but I am also mighty impressed with Handscomb

mayuresh: Kedar Jadhav should be used as a surprise weapon. That is what the role of part timer is, to break partnerships not to settle a new batsman. Wrong captaincy

Abhijeet: @deepesh - not only Kuldeep but any wrist spinners would get help from bouncy surfaces in SENA countries

MT: Handscomb has played spin well overall in tests and ODIs. Can be a very important player in the CWC

RJ: When a new batsman comes in you expect your captain to bring in your best bowler. Kohli has allowed Handscomb to settle in nicely. Poor captaincy -- Who should have bowled?

Deepesh: Interestingly enough, Kuldeep being a spinner is more effective in SENA countries than in India. Part of the reason could be the zip he gets there out of harder wickets. @cricbuzz team, your thoughts? -- He still averages 26 at home. But yes, the pace and bounce on those countries will certainly help.

Priyam: Usman Khawaja has looked in fantastic touch in the last few matches and has just carried on today.

Sunny: Just when you think nothing's happening, Jadeja comes with such deliveries.

karan: @abhishek if Carey than who will keep. -- Handscomb can keep.

Arjit Sahni: @Abhishek no ways Finch & Handscomb are going out of the side, its probably gonna be Turner & Carey.

Abhishek: @Pavan:: Finchi has to make way for Warner and probably Handscomb for Smith. -- Who's going to captain the side?

Pavan: Its interesting to see who gets replaced if Warner and Smith make their way into the team for WC.

Siva Balaji: @Smeet Panchal Vijay Shankar has ability to come at 4th place

Sudhakar Amboji: Hey Smeet, Dhoni is the best batsman for 4th position. We always talk that, why Dhoni can't bat up in the order. I think looking at his current form and for the stage like World Cup, this is the best time that he get a chance to bat up in the order.

vala: Playing 5 bowlers is a good option also Shankar has to find wicket taking skills in middle overs, which will be an added advantage for the team composition.

Smeet Panchal: @Dhruvin If you say this is the best possible playing 11, though MSD will replace Pant. The MAIN problem still is unsolved. WHO WILL BAT AT NO 4?

Ragauv: We are into only 4th over and have seen 6 boundaries already and everyone of those from bad balls.

Dhruvin: I feel this is the best possible playing 11 going into the world cup. Dhoni comes in place of Pant while Pandya would replace Jadeja depending upon the conditions. Vijay Shankar has got the ability to bat at 6 for India and he has proved in the limited chances that he has got.

Abinash Das: For Team Indian, Fearlessness, Flamboyance and solidity need to go hand in hand with an ultra-positive approach if one needs to turn the match on its head.

Harsha Bhogle: So India are going with 5 bowlers which is a good idea. And Jadhav and Vijay Shankar go back to being 6th bowlers which is what they are. Now, would like to see Jadeja rediscover his batting form.
