While India had a number of heroes in Wednesday's win in the third ODI against Australia -- Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli with the bat, and Shardul Thakur with the ball -- debutant T Natarajan showed plenty of confidence to chip in with a couple of important wickets.
Natarajan, who was a late entrant to India ODI squad, removed Marnus Labuschagne early to ensure India did not concede a century opening stand in Wednesday's match, like they had in the first two games. He then came back in his final spell to get rid of Ashton Agar (28), who looked capable of taking the game away from India.
