Now, chasing a mammoth score of 400 is never easy for even 5-time World Cup champions.

With a bad start, Australia lost two quick wickets to India pacer Prasidh Krishna. Then the rain interrupted the match due to which, 11 overs were lost and Australia got a new target of 317 to 33 overs.

When the match resumed, Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja made things difficult for Australian batters.

But how can they stop David Warner, who also plays for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League and was the skipper too?

Warner, well-known for his switch hits against spinners, decided to start batting right-handed. A left-hand batter, in the 13th over turned right-handed as he decided to take a right-hander’s stance.
