Indian batsmen set formidable total of 352/5 as Australians drop catches, Shikhar Dhawan scores brilliant ton




India on Sunday set a formidable total of 352 runs for the loss of five wickets in 50 overs while playing their second World Cup match against Australia at The Oval. Shikhar Dhwan was the top scorer for the side with a brilliant knock of 117 runs.



Also contributing with the bat were Rohit Sharma (57), skipper Virat Kohli (82) and Hardik Pandya (48). Dhawan took 109 balls to score 117 runs that included 16 boundaries. This is the highest World Cup total conceded by Australians, who also appeared sloppy in the field as they dropped two key catches. For example Rohit Sharma was dropped when he was on two and Pandya received a life when he had yet to open his account.
Wicket-keeper Alex Carey dropped two catches behind the stumps.
The Australians, however, appeared to redeem themselves in the field when Marcus Stoinis held on to a stunning catch of MS Dhoni off his own bowling in the dying overs of the match.
Speaking about his century, Dhawan said, “I played it very smartly and calmly. I really enjoy playing on this ground, I have a good record here especially in ICC tournaments. I’m more than happy we got a big total on the board and we are in a good position now. I play every game with the same intensity and determination but bouncy wickets suit my game and bring the best out of me.
“I feel it is enough runs on the board. We have a great bowling side and I’m sure with their experience we will trouble the Australian batsman.”
Both India and Australia have been unbeaten in the competition so far. While Australia have won both their matches against West Indies and Afghanistan, India too started their World Cup campaign by beating South Africa by six wickets.

In what could be seen as a new trend emerging in the apex court while dealing with economic offenders, the bench allowed bail to an accused in the bitcoin scam on Saturday, in lieu of hefty amounts of cash as a security deposit — Rs 15 lakh, to be precise. The court was hearing the bail petition of Akash Kantilal Sancheti, accused of duping several persons of Rs 42 lakh. The first complaint against him was lodged by a Pune entrepreneur, who claimed she had invested Rs 13 lakh in Sancheti's business since August 2017. He was arrested in January 2018. On Friday, his bail petition came up for hearing before a bench comprising Justices RF Nariman and V Ramasubramanian. His lawyer, senior advocate Siddharth Dave, submitted that Sancheti has been behind bars for 20 months and the kingpin of the scam is already out on bail. The bench directed Sancheti to deposit Rs 13 lakh with the registry of the apex court within six months. In addition, it told him to furnish a bail bond of R
