Is the India ODI series win over Australia justified?

India won a three-matchu00a0ODI series with two games washed out. The following cricketing personalities don't believe the Aussies were beaten fair and square




Kiran More (former India wicketkeeper):




Nayan Mongia (former India wicketkeeper): The wet conditions in Goa prevented Australia from coming back in the series. Sure, we won, but it's not exactly correct to say we won hands down.

Karsan Ghavri (former India all-rounder): This is why cricket is a funny game. Yes, India won 1-0, but it would be unfair to call Australia losers because anything could have happened in those two washed out odis. My hunch is the Aussies would have won at least one of those games.

Balwinder Singh Sandhu (former India bowler): Though India are technically winners, it's not an out and out series win because Australia didn't get a chance to get even with the Goa ODI getting washed out too. Let's put it this way: This is no time to celebrate.

Makarand Waingankar (journalist and cricket consultant): Technically, India are winners, but not morally. In the first place, matches shouldn't have been scheduled in Kochi and Goa this time of the year.
