Harbhajan Singh-Praveen Kumar Pair Break 8th Wicket Partnership Against Australia

Australian cricket team has taken the charge of 7-match ODI series by 1-0 after winning the opening ODI match against home team India. Now, they will look for another victory to go ahead in the ongoing ODI series. Who do you think will get much importance in the second ODI match?

First ODI match between India and Australia was closely contested thanks to two tail order batsmen. In this match, Australia won by 4 runs. You should know that no Indian batsman played well in the opening match at Vadodara. However, it was record breaking performance made by Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar. This pair scored 84 runs partnership in eight wicket stand. This pair remained India’s hope of winning the series. However, Harbhajan Singh was short of 1 run to fulfill his maiden ODI fifty. Praveen Kumar remained not out till the end of the match. Praveen Kumar scored 40 runs. It was his career best innings since ODI debut. He scored 49 runs from 31 balls. In this match, Harbhajan Singh reached 1000 land mark. Some cricket fans think that if Harbhajan Singh can play few more balls then India can win the match. Previous record was made by Kapil Dev and Kiran More. They made 82-run partnership against New Zealand at Bangalore in 1987 World Cup.

I hope that Australian bowlers will give much importance on them. Otherwise they can change the match result.
