India and Australia are currently battling in the 2nd ODI at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot and it is leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who has been the pick of the bowlers for Australia, picking up 2 wickets in the match at the time of writing this report. First, he dismissed India opener Rohit Sharma lbw for 42 and then castled batsman Shreyas Iyer, when he was batting on 7. However, former India batsman-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjerekar feels that Adam Zampa is not someone who is either 'skilled or talented'.
