The Indian team is playing against Australia in match five of the ongoing World Cup 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Australian skipper won the toss and decided to bat first on a hot sunny day in Chennai. One of the funny incidents transpired during the game when fans witnessed ‘Jarvo 69’. He was as usual spotted invading the field and went on to talk to Virat Kohli while wearing India’s jersey. Soon he was taken off the field by the security personnel. What grabbed the attention of many was he came all the way from the United Kingdom to support the Indian team.
Jarvo 69 came to the limelight back during the red ball series between England and India in 2021. He was spotted entering the pitch in almost every game of the series. Talking about the game, the Men in Blue got a great start after Jaspirt Bumrah’s early wicket. He dismissed Mitchell Marsh in his second over of the game. The same amount of credit went to Virat Kohli also who took a great catch after diving towards his left side.
The only cause of concern for the Indian team is their ace batter Shubman Gill has been ruled out due to dengue. Ishan Kishan replaced him in the playing XI. Team India also included three spinners in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja. Australia on the other hand are playing without the services of Marcus Stoinis, who is down with an injury.
India’s Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
