Paceman Jhye Richardson took four for 26 as Australia finally gave their fans something to smile about with a 34-run victory over India in the first one-day international on Saturday. Playing in just his 5th ODI, Richardson put up a match-winning show to finish with career-best figures. 

One of the highlights of his spell was the wicket of Indian captain Virat Kohli- the best batsmen in cricket right now. Kohli flicked one to be caught at square leg. However, he was actually not very happy with the delivery initially. 

"I was actually disappointed when the ball came out," Richardson said of Kohli’s dismissal. “I probably bowled a bit too straight. I had a fielder there who hung on to it, so it is a wicket I will remember for a very long time.”

The 22-year-old was declared as the player of the match for his display that included an opening spell of 4-2-6-2. Apart from Kohli, he took the wickets of Ambati Rayudu, Dinesh Karthik and Ravindra Jadeja. 

“I am ecstatic and really excited for the team. It’s good to put a personal performance on the board but I am really excited in the way Australian cricket is heading. The way we prepared for this game and the research we did on Indian players. Everything leading up to this game, I felt was absolutely perfect and the result was ideal tonight,” he about his performance.
