IND Vs AUS 1st ODI Match: Today, on Sunday, October 19, the first match of the 3 ODI series between India and Australia was played at Optum Stadium in Perth. Australia won this rain-interrupted match by 7 wickets (DLS Method). After this the question started to arise that who is the real culprit of this shameful defeat of India? Well, here you will get the answer to this question.

Who is responsible for India’s shameful defeat?

Team India had to face a shameful defeat in the first ODI match played between India and Australia. There is no one person responsible for this shameful defeat of India, but in this match all the Indian batsmen were flopped, due to which Team India failed to score big and due to DLS Method, Indian team could score only 136 runs at the loss of 9 wickets in 26 overs. If we look at India’s score card, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer and captain Shubman Gill can be held responsible for this defeat. The Indian team had high expectations from these four players, but in the first ODI match, all four batsmen failed to score big.

Virat and Rohit did not bat

Indian team’s star batsman Virat Kohli and former captain Rohit Sharma came to the field to play an international match after about 222 days, but both the batsmen could not show their strength in the first ODI match. In this match, Virat was out on the ball of Mitchell Starc for 0 runs in 8 balls, while Rohit was out on the ball of Hazlewood after scoring 8 runs in 14 balls. The performance of Virat and Rohit on Australian soil has been excellent, due to which these two batsmen had more responsibility, but Virat and Rohit could not perform as per their ability in this match.

Who is the real culprit of India’s defeat?

After the early dismissal of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the entire responsibility was on Shubman Gill, but as captain, Shubman Gill flopped in his match. After the dismissal of these three star batsmen, the eyes of Indian fans were on vice-captain Shreyas Iyer and it was expected that Shreyas would bat at one end, but Iyer was out due to his weakness. While Virat was caught by Starc’s off-side ball, Shreyas became the victim of Hazlewood’s bouncer ball. For this reason, it can be said that these four star batsmen are the real culprits of India’s defeat.

In the first ODI being played in Perth, Team India, after batting first, scored 136 runs for 9 wickets. This match started with 50 overs, but due to rain at regular intervals, the overs kept getting cut. In the end a match of 26 overs was decided. Even though India scored 136 runs in 26 overs after playing first, Australia got the target of only 131 runs after DLS calculation.

In the first match of the three-match ODI series, Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first. Kangaroos wreaked havoc with the new ball. Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 08 runs with one four in 14 balls. The new ODI captain could score only 10 runs in 18 balls in his first match. Whereas Virat Kohli could not even open the account. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer’s bat also did not work. Iyer returned to the pavilion after scoring 11 runs. Josh Hazlewood dismissed Rohit and Iyer. Whereas Mitchell Starc sent Kohli to the pavilion.
