Just curious to know . #staraikelungal #INDvAUS @ICC — Sanjai K Saju (@Sanjai_K_Saju) 9 June 2019 #AskStar #sachinopensagain Noticed that Adam Zampa puts his bowling hand in his pocket before every delivery. What could be the reason — Nikhil Gupta (@nikhilindelhi) 9 June 2019 The 27-year-old leggie remained wicketless against India as he turned out to be expensive giving 50 runs in six overs he bowled. Zampa was first introduced in the 12th over after the first powerplay and then in the middle overs. On a wicket which helped the Indian batsmen, Zampa was taken to the cleaners right from the start. Skipper Aaron Finch did not let Zampa bowl his full quota of 10 overs. He had taken four wickets in his first two matches of World Cup but proved to be ineffective against India after Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma got off to a good start.
