Star Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav, all-rounder Hardik Pandya and opener Shubman Gill are likely to get promotions in their new central contracts, as per sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
"I have bowled a lot, going forward I want to see more bowling options. Not always that this will work but I want more batters to chip in with the ball. I expect them to be professional, which they are," mentioned the all-rounder after the win.
Hooda delivered a stunning spell conceding just 10 runs in his four overs while bagging four wickets haul, dismissing Daryl Mitchell, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi and Tim Southee.
KL Rahul (51) and Virat Kohli (26) put a 60 run stand for second wicket, but Sean Williams (2/9) squeezed some momentum out of their innings. However, Suryakumar Yadav (61*) made sure things finished well for Men in Blue.
On a bouncy, fast Perth surface where heavyweights like KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma failed to go big, Suryakumar seemed to be unfazed, playing his natural game to score 68 off 40 balls that helped India post 133/9 in their 20 overs.
Opting to bat first, India started watchfully with KL Rahul playing a maiden to Wayne Parnell in the first over. The Indian captain opened India's and his account with a massive six of Kagiso Rababda in the second over. KL Rahul also took a leaf out of Rohit Sharma's book and smashed a six in the third over to open his account.
