Pacer Jason Behrendorff wrecked havoc in the first over of the second T20I between India and Australia as the hosts lost two of their leading batsmen — Rohit Sharma (8) and Virat Kohli (0) — early in the second T20I at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday.

Behrendorff, who made his international debut in the last T20I in Ranchi, made the best out of the opportunity and dominated the best of Indian batsmen.

In his second over, the 27-year-old Aussie took another wicket in shape of Manish Pandey (6).

Behrendorff continued dominating the Indians as he extended his tally to four wickets. Opener Shikhar Dhawan (2) became the another victim of the Aussie speedster.

India were seen struggling at 31/4 in first five overs of the game.

Behrendorff bowled a single over in the last match, conceding five runs without any success.
