India return to Adelaide following a sobering opener in the series, having lost the first match by seven wickets In a rain-curtailed match in Perth, India failed to defend a DLS-set total of 130 runs. The Indian bowlers lacked penetration on a pitch that offered little assistance, hindering their attack.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s return to the ODI squad for the series Down Under generated big headlines and a surge of expectant energy among fans. However, neither batter converted this buzz into runs. In the first match, Kohli scored a rare duck, while Rohit managed just eight runs off 14 balls.
With two matches remaining in the series, captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir face a lot of decisions. They will need to stabilise the top batting order and tighten death-overs bowling.
The squad also faces selection debates, which includes whether Kuldeep Yadav makes the playing XI, as the Men in Blue target a stronger performance in Adelaide.
