Kranti Goud’s relentless brilliance continued as she dismissed Alyssa Healy for the third consecutive time in the ongoing series during the Women’s ODI between India and Australia. The moment was an explosive one, not only for the wicket but for the fiery exchange that followed.
Alyssa Healy drops ‘F’ bomb in frustration after Kranti Goud removes her 3rd time in a row
In the 4.2 over, Kranti bowled a well-executed delivery just outside off, fuller in length. Healy, in a bid to break the shackles, attempted a lofted drive over the offside but got underneath it. The bat turned in her hands, and she chipped it straight to mid-off, where Harmanpreet Kaur took a stunning catch, fingers pointing skyward, before tumbling onto her back in celebration. It was a moment of sheer joy for India, who had been searching for a breakthrough.
However, the intensity of the moment did not end with the catch. After taking her third wicket against Healy in as many games, Gaud celebrated aggressively, looking directly at the departing Healy. In response, Healy’s anger was evident as she muttered the ‘F-bomb,’ expressing her disappointment at not being able to overcome Goud’s challenge.
The exchange hinted at the mounting tension between the two players, making the match even more heated. Healy’s dismissal, with a solid 30 runs off 18 balls, included seven fours and a strike rate of 166.66, left Australia at 43/1. Gaud, on the other hand, continued to make an impact with the ball, with figures of 2.2-0-23-1. The altercation added spice to an already thrilling contest, showcasing the intensity of this series between two fierce competitors.

Australia Women, batting first after winning the toss, have put up a solid total of 151/2 in 21.4 overs against India in the 3rd ODI at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The highlight of the innings has been the partnership between Georgia Voll and Ellyse Perry. Voll has played a scintillating knock of 81 off 68 balls, striking 14 boundaries, while Perry is steady on 35 from 44 balls, including four fours and one six.
