Ashton Turner of Australia plays a shot during the 4th ODI. (Source: PTI)The Indian attack had no answers to Ashton Turner’s hitting as Australia beat India by four wickets in the fourth ODI in Mohali on Sunday. The five-match series is now tied at 2-2 with the decider to be played in Delhi on Wednesday.
Playing only his second ODI, Turner hit an unbeaten 84 off 43 balls with five boundaries and as many six sixes to help Australia win in only 47.5 overs. Earlier in the day, Shikhar Dhawan fired India to 358 for nine with a sublime 143 off 115 balls.
Here are some of the best reactions from the cricket fraternity as the Indian team failed to defend the highest ever total in its ODI history:
One of India’s most listless display with the ball and in the field in recent times. Dropping absolute sitters. Also, in times like these, India realise the value of Mahendra Singh Dhoni behind the wickets. Taking nothing away from the brilliance of Turner though #IndvAus

Stunning innings from Ashton Turner. He’s shown this kind of hitting prowess in the BBL for a number of seasons now. He’s more than just a power player though, he’s got an excellent cricket brain & has great game management. He’s marshalled a number of tight BBL chases. #INDvAUS

Outstanding run chase by Australia. Handscomb was brilliant and Turner really turned things around in a display of some of the cleanest hitting. India would like to forget this, learn from their mistakes and give it their best in the decider in Delhi #IndvAus

The partnership between Khawaja/handscomb shouldn’t have played 5th 6th bowler in the early https://t.co/Ojju9nbW82 least not from both the ends. By saying that well done Australia for winning the game #INDvsAUS

Five out of the last 6 matches at Mohali are won by the chasing team. And that’s when the average first innings total is well over 300. Phew. #IndvAus
