India's opening match in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 against Australia got underway on a promising note at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. Despite choosing to bat first, the Australian team struggled to form substantial partnerships, with none of their batsmen even crossing the 50-run mark. Steve Smith emerged as the highest run-scorer for the side, amassing 46 runs. Among the Indian bowlers, the spin duo made a significant impact, with Ravindra Jadeja taking three wickets and Kuldeep Yadav securing two.

As wickets continued to fall, during Kuldeep's spell, commentator Ravi Shastri expressed a premonition that something noteworthy might occur as the spinner bowled to Glenn Maxwell. Shortly after those words were spoken, Maxwell was dismissed for 15 runs. The leg stump was uprooted as Maxwell missed his attempted pull shot. His haste with the shot caused the ball to crash into the leg stump.
