5. The New South Wales Flavour:
The mood in Australia would be happy. But guess what? The mood in New South Wales would be party likes as three of its stars Steve O’ Keefe, Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc were chief architects of the win, which was Australia’s first since October 29, 2004. The first name surely needs no introduction as of now. Steve O’ Keefe is easily the main cause India lost the match. The bowler, who is on his first trip to India, wasn’t seen as a danger man and everyone had their eyes on Nathan Lyon. However, the left arm spinner spun a vicious web around the Indians and cloned performance of 6/35 in both the innings to ensure smooth victory. Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc played vital roles with the bat. The latter hit a quick 61-run knock to take Australia to 260 in the first innings while Smith ensured that they committed no blunder in taking advantage of a huge lead which the Indians conceded. The skipper cracked a century while swelling up the overall lead of 440 and setting an improbable target for India.
