New Delhi: 2nd match of ODI series between India and Australia today Visakhapatnam is about to happen. In the first match of the series, the fast bowlers were on fire and the batsmen had to face difficulties. Despite this, the Indian team pulled out this match on the basis of the struggling innings of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja. Now the eyes are on the second match and this match is on such a ground, where India has a lot of resistance. This ground is special not only for Team India but also for their spinner Kuldeep Yadav as he made an extraordinary record here.
This second match of the series will be played at the YSR Reddy Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The first ODI match was played on this ground in 2005, which hardly anyone can forget.
