Indian eves turned tables to upset defending champions Australia in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup opener.
The Aussie ladies were defeated by 17 runs after they were bowled out for 115 while chasing 132.
Indian bowlers Poonam Yadav along with Shikha Pandey inflicted the damage on the host. The two, however, attained these figures with the help of wicketkeeper Taniya Bhatia.
Bhatia provided a gem of an innings from behind the stumps as she impacted a staggering four wickets in the match with two stumpings and two catches.
Doing what netizens do best, they soon started comparing the woman wicketkeeper with MS Dhoni.
