Australia: Mitchell Marsh(c), Travis Head, Matthew Short, Matt Renshaw, Alex Carey(w), Cooper Connolly, Mitchell Owen, Xavier Bartlett, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
BANG, BANG from Rohit Sharma! Mitchell Owen comes into the attack and Rohit’s classic pull shot is in full display, brings up the 50-run stand with Shreyas Iyer. Two balls later, Rohit once again takes the same route for two sixes in three balls. A four to end the over from Shreyas Iyer. IND 84/2 (19)
Australia are yet to introduce any spin in Adelaide so far. The pitch looks better for batting as the game progressed with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. Think, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli should have taken a little bit more time in the middle. Both Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer are key for India in the middle. IND 66/2 (18)
After the dismissal of Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill, the Mumbai pair of Shreyas Iyer and Rohit Sharma have settled in the middle. They understood the conditions better. The partnership is 29 now. IND 48/2 (14.3)
OUTTT!!!! Virat Kohli is trapped in front for another duck. He missed the line while playing across. Kohli has a chat with Rohit Sharma and walks back. India in deep deep trouble. IND 17/2 (7)
OUTTT!!! Shubman Gill dances down the track to manufacture a shot down the ground. The ball hits the top of the bat only for Mitchell Marsh to complete the catch. Xavier Bartlett strikes. IND 17/1 (6.1)
Rohit Sharma survives once again. Rohit plays across the line and misses a Josh Hazlewood delivery as the ball hits straight on the pads. The umpire remains unmoved before Australia go upstairs. TV replays show, the ball got an inside edge. IND 17/0 (6)
Rohit Sharma survives!!!! Shubman Gill cuts a Mitchell Starc delievry only to be exceptionally fielded at point. Rohit, who had set for the run, was sent back by Gill as the ball hits the stumps. TV replays show Rohit’s bat is just inside on time. Two more fours follow in the over from Gill and Rohit – one through the cover frm Gill while Rohit flicks off the pads towards deep square leg. IND 11/0 (3)
Rohit Sharma’s single in the first over takes him past Sourav Ganguly for most ODI runs for India. Rohit now has 9147 as compared to Ganguly’s 9146. Only Sachin Tendulkar (15310 runs) has scored more.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill walk out to bat at Adelaide Oval. Mitchell Starc will open the bowling for Australia. Quite start for India. IND 1/0 (1)
Shubman Gill is India’s top run-getter in ODIs in 2025 with 457 runs. On the other hand, Adam Zampa is Australia’s highest wicket-taker in ODIs in 2025 with 12 scalps.
“We always expect a really nice cricket surface here, a nice pitch. Overnight, there were some UV lights over the pitch, which meant that they were trying to get a little bit of moisture out of the surface. Whoever bats first, there will be a little bit of grip from the seam with that new ball. Adelaide Oval always offers a good contest between bat and ball, and today will be no different either,” Shane Watson and Parthiv Patel with the pitch report.
India’s Shubman Gill and Australia’s Mitchell Marsh walk out for the toss. Australia win the toss and opt to bowl first. Alex Carey, Adam Zampa and Xavier Bartlett come in for Josh Philippe, Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Ellis respectively for Australia.
There are reports that the tickets for this game have been sold out. With Virat Kohli likely to play his final ODI in Adelaide, expect a sea of blue at the stands. In fact, the Adelaide Oval has been a happy hunting ground for Kohli with three hundreds, including one in ODIs.
Just like the chatter around Kuldeep Yadav, yashasvi Jaiswal was caught having a long chat with BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir during training. Even Jaiswal spent most of his time on Wednesday bowling leg-spin.
India are unlikely to tinker with their playing XI. But there are chatter around Kuldeep Yadav’s inclusion in the playing Xi. In case, he is included, one among Nitish Kumar Reddy or Washington Sundar will have to sit out.
Like in Perth, it rained ai Adelaide in the builup to the game. Such was the scenario that even UV lights were used to dry the pitch on matchday minus two. The good news is that there are no chances of rain in Adelaide today.
For the hosts, left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann, who did well in the first game, has been released. Leg-break bowler Adam Zampa, who missed the first game due to the birth of his child, has rejoined the side . Fit-again wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey, who was playing a Sheffield Shield game, has also joined the side for the final two games.
The toss for the 2nd ODI, which is being played at the Adelaide Oval, will take place at 8.30 AM IST.
The match will begin from 9 AM.
The India vs Australia 2nd ODI will be telecast live on Star Sports channels on Thursday from 9 AM IST on October 23. Live streaming of IND vs AUS will be available on JioStar app and website.
In the first game, which was reduced to 26 overs per side due to rain, India managed 136/9. Australia romped home with seven wickets to spare.
