IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia will be played today at Adelaide Oval. After the defeat in the first match, this match is like do or die for Team India. If India loses this match, then the series will go to Australia. At the same time, if Team India wins, it will equalize the series.
In this match, all eyes will again be on India’s two great batsmen, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who are expected to perform big innings this time.
Pressure on Rohit, he sweated in the nets
Rohit Sharma, who returned to the field after IPL, definitely struggled a bit in the first ODI, but looking at his running and fitness between the wickets, it seemed that he was returning to his old rhythm. Despite the team’s defeat, his confidence remained intact in the nets.
During net practice in Adelaide, Rohit reached the field about 45 minutes before the other players. He batted for a long time in the presence of coach Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir stopped Rohit from practicing on the wet net so that there is no risk of injury. After this the hitman made fierce strokes on the second net.
Virat Kohli took rest
On the other hand, Virat Kohli had practiced for a long time on Tuesday, so he rested on Wednesday. Both the senior players are ready to take a big responsibility for the team in this match. At the same time, young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal may have to sit on the bench once again, due to which the pressure on Rohit to perform well has increased.
Complication regarding team combination
The absence of Hardik Pandya has made the team balance a bit unstable. The coaching staff has not yet decided whether the pair of Washington Sundar and Nitish Reddy will strengthen the batting till number 8 or not. Kuldeep Yadav may have to sit on the bench again because there will be difficult conditions for the spinners on the short boundaries of Adelaide.
Australia’s comeback strong
There have also been two important changes in the Australian team. Spinner Adam Zampa has joined the team after the birth of his child. Wicketkeeper batsman Alex Carey has also returned. Left arm spinner Matt Kuhneman, who performed brilliantly in the last match, has been dropped.
Weather and pitch report
It had rained in Adelaide for the last two days, but the ground staff has used UV lights to dry the pitch. There is no possibility of rain on the match day, although there will be light clouds in the sky and cold winds will blow. The short boundary of Adelaide Oval can prove beneficial for the batsmen.
If India has to make a comeback in the series then today depends on Ro-Ko show i.e. Rohit-Virat combo. If both of them perform well, then problems may increase for Australia.
