After being sent in to bat on a damp pitch, Australia shrugged off early blows to post 306/6, thanks to three superb innings — Matthew Hayden (75), Andrew Symonds (87 off 83), and *Brad Haddin (87 off 69)**. Despite early wickets, Hayden’s discipline and Symonds’ calculated aggression rebuilt the innings before Haddin exploded in the final overs with clean strikes over midwicket and long-on. Their partnerships of 98 and 108 for the fourth and fifth wickets broke India’s spirit. India’s chase faltered early — Mitchell Johnson and Stuart Clark dismissed Tendulkar (16), Uthappa (41), and Yuvraj Singh (12) to leave India reeling. Though MS Dhoni (58) fought with determination, Brad Hogg’s clever left-arm spin (3/40) ensured there would be no comeback. It was a ruthless Australian performance — calm, clinical, and commanding. 🕒 Key Moments (YouTube Chapters) 0:00 – Toss: Dhoni opts to bowl in cloudy Kochi skies 0:30 – Early breakthroughs: Zaheer & Sreesanth remove Gilchrist & Hodge (8/2) 1:10 – Hayden & Clarke rebuild steadily 2:00 – Dhoni’s lightning stumping of Clarke 🔥 2:30 – Hayden & Symonds counterattack; 100-run stand 3:00 – Pathan’s yorker cleans up Hayden for 75 3:30 – Symonds smashes 87; Sreesanth’s over-the-top celebration 😅 4:00 – Haddin’s stunning 87* finishes Australia at 306/6 4:40 – Johnson strikes early: Gambhir bowled, Tendulkar caught at point 11:10 – Uthappa’s blazing 41 keeps India alive 12:40 – Clark removes Uthappa & Yuvraj — Australia take control 16:10 – Dhoni’s lone fight for 58 not enough 18:30 – Brad Hogg wraps up the tail — Australia win by 84 runs 20:00 – Post-match celebrations: Haddin named Player of the Match 🏆 #cricketmax #indvsaus #highlights #msdhoni #symonds
