Australia's Josh Hazlewood Excels in India Encounter at MCG

Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood played a significant role in a recent cricket encounter against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). His bowling performance contributed to a rapid Indian batting collapse, during which four wickets fell for just 12 runs in 16 balls.

Hazlewood accounted for the dismissals of Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma, while Sanju Samson was dismissed by Nathan Ellis. The article describes Hazlewood's deliveries as featuring angles, shaping, and varied lengths, proving effective against the Indian batsmen. It also notes a shift in perception regarding Hazlewood's T20 effectiveness, particularly since 2022.

For India, Harshit Rana scored 35 runs off 33 balls in a 56-run partnership; however, a significant number of dot balls (15) during his innings reportedly affected the team's scoring rate.
