WATCH: Abhishek Sharma's Surprised Reaction To Josh Hazlewood Not Playing Remaining IND vs AUS T20I Games Goes Viral

Suryakumar Yadav's Team India was handed a reality check by Australia in the ongoing five-match IND vs AUS T20I series. After their heroics of winning the Asia Cup unbeaten, India were being considered as invincible, but the conditions in Australia have continued to haunt them as the 'men in blue' succumbed to a 4-wickets loss against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The first match of the series was washed out due to persistent rains at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, and Australia are currently 1-0 up in the series, courtesy of their win at the MCG.

Abhishek is now going viral for his surprised reaction to the news of Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood missing the remaining three matches of the Australia vs India T20I series. "I didn't know this, but obviously. I mean he is good enough to play all the formats, but still, I was, I was enjoying this challenge because somehow as a batter you have to face world class bowlers and that's what I was trying to do," said Abhishek.
