Team India comfortably defended a total of 164 i🦋n 21 overs against Australia in the first ODI at M.A. Chid🔴ambaram Stadium, Chennai, after the match was curtailed due to rain.
Virat Kohli & Co. took a 1-0 lead in the 5 match series by defeating Steve Smith’s men by 26 runs (D/L) on Sunday.
Disappointed with his team’s defeat, former Australian cricketer Dean Jones took to Twitter and wrote, “So I see India needed a bit of rain to win that game. Ok … bring on Game 2.”

My dear Dean Jones,
A sophisticated team doesn't make gaffes. I hope you comprehend my context.
Thank you.
