It was a big wicket in the context of the game as Head is someone who can take down oppositions and it is hence important to send him packing early. Head perished for a breezy 29 off 25 balls.

Kohli's Torrid Comeback

With the bat, Kohli has had a torrid return to international cricket. He is yet to get a run after two outings. It is the first time in his illustrious career that he has bagged consecutive ducks in ODI cricket. Ideally, he would like to sign off on a high at the SCG. For the unversed, hosts Australia have already sealed the three-match ODI series with wins at Perth and Adelaide. This is a dead rubber where India are playing to salvage pride and avoid an embarrassing whitewash. 

India has made a couple of changes for the game. 

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill(c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna
