Mohali ke maidan par aaj India A ki sherniyo ne wo kar dikhaya jiski goonj Australia tak jayegi. Ek waqt par aisa lag raha tha ki Australia A bade score ki taraf badh rahi hai, lekin hamare spinners ne aisa jaal buna ki Kangaroos usmein phans kar reh gaye. Chase mein thodi ghabrahat zaroor thi, magar Tejal Hasabnis aur Anushka Sharma ne batting ka wo jalwa dikhaya ki videshi bowlers pani maangne lage.
The Guru Story
Match ki shuruat Australia A ke liye kaafi solid thi. Unki captain Tahlia Wilson ne 48 runs banakar ek base set kiya tha. Jab score 149 par 2 wickets tha, tab aisa laga ki score 300 paar jayega. Lekin tabhi shuru hua India A ka spin attack. Niki Prasad, Vaishnavi Sharma, aur debutant Amandeep Kaur ne milkar Australia A ki batting line-up ko tahas-nahas kar diya. Agle 86 runs ke andar puri team dher ho gayi aur 235 par all out ho gayi.
Jab 236 runs ka peecha karne India A utri, toh 46 runs par 3 bade jhatke lag chuke the. Pressure high tha, lekin Tejal Hasabnis ke irade kuch aur hi the. Unhone 82 balls mein 81 runs ki aisi innings kheli jismein 6 power-packed sixes shamil the. Unka saath nibhaya Anushka Sharma ne, jinhone 55 runs ki behtareen pari kheli. Dono ne 126 runs ki partnership karke Australia ko match se bahar kar diya. Anth mein Niki Prasad ne 32 runs ki cameo kheli aur ek shandaar reverse-sweep ke saath match finish kiya.

The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Yeh jeet sirf ek match ki nahi, balki dominance ka elaan hai. Australia ko unki hi aggressive style mein jawab dena hamari ladkiyon ne seekh liya hai. Tejal Hasabnis ki batting mein jo power dikhi, wo Senior Team ke liye ek mazboot prophecy hai. Jab tak hamare paas Niki Prasad jaise all-rounders hain, tab tak kisi bhi world-class team ko dhool chatana mushkil nahi hai. Series 1-0 se hamari mutthi mein hai aur momentum ab puri tarah se India ke saath hai.
