IND vs AUS 3rd ODI: India's star batter Suryakumar Yadav was on Wednesday dismissed on a golden duck for yet another time in the ongoing ODI series against Australia. India and Australia face each other in the third and final ODI of the game and India was given a 270-run target. Virat Kohli played a good hand of fifty before departing but Suryakumar, who came in at No.7 was out on the first ball.
Yadav was demoted down the order from No.4 to No.7 as India experimented with the batting order. Yadav played his first ball in the 36th over and was bowled on the first ball by Ashton Agar. This was his third consecutive golden duck in the series as he fell on the first ball in the two previous matches to Starc.
Yadav first Indian to get out on golden duck for three consecutive times
Meanwhile, Yadav has registered an unwanted feat. He has become the first Indian and 14th in the world to get out on golden duck on three consecutive times in ODI cricket. The list features the likes of Andrew Symonds and Shane Watson among others.
