Australian fast bowler Jason Behrendorff, who laid the foundation for Australia’s 8-wicket victory in the second Twenty-20 international at Barsapara Cricket Stadium Guwahati,  cracked up by a question in the post-match press conference.

Following Australia’s comprehensive win last night, the Man of the Match recipient Behrendorff attended the press conference wherein one of the reporters asked him: “some of the fans seem to see a likeness between you and professional wrestler John Cena. Have you heard about that?”

The 27-year-old loudly burst into laughter before answering the question. “No i haven’t, but from what i understand he’s a fair bit bigger than i am! But yeah, I’ll take, Sure.”

The New South Wales bowler dented the Indian top order with the figures of (4-0-21-4). He got rid of both the openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan beside scalping India skipper Virat Kohli and young Manish Pandey.

Put into bat by Aussie stand-in-skipper David Warner, India were bowled out for a paltry 118 in 20 overs on a deck where there was something for the bowlers. Chasing the target, Australia suffered a couple of early hiccups as the opening duo of Warner and Finch got out when the score was just 13. However, an unbeaten 109-run stand between Moises Henriques and Travis Head sealed the deal for the visitors with 27 balls to spare.
