Rohit Sharma presented a display of patience and passion in the second ODI against Australia in Adelaide. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer also played a strong innings, but captain Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli once again flopped. Rohit hit seven fours and two sixes in his innings of 73 runs in 97 balls. He laid the foundation of India’s challenging score by making a partnership of 118 runs for the third wicket with Shreyas Iyer (61 runs, 77 balls, seven fours). Akshar Patel also played a useful inning of 44 runs in 41 balls with the help of 5 fours.

Leg spinner Adam Zampa, who returned after the birth of his second child, took four wickets for 60 runs for Australia. Most of the batsmen were out trying to attack him. Fast bowler Xavier Bartlett bowled brilliantly and took three wickets for 39 runs. He also got the valuable wicket of Virat Kohli (0).

Rohit Sharma showed patience, Iyer also supported a lot

The start of the Indian innings was not good. Bartlett gave initial shocks to India by taking the wickets of captain Shubhman Gill (09) and Kohli. Gill played Bartlett’s ball into the hands of captain Mitchell Marsh at mid-off, while three balls later, Kohli also became LBW on a fast-incoming ball, due to which India’s score became 17 runs for two wickets in the seventh over. Kohli failed to open the account for the second consecutive match. He greeted the fans on his way back to Adelaide, where he has scored several Test centuries and a World Cup century against Pakistan.

Josh Hazlewood (29 runs without wicket in 10 overs) also troubled the batsmen by getting good bounce. At one time Rohit played 17 consecutive balls of Hazlewood blankly. Both he and Iyer looked very cautious due to the moisture and movement on the pitch. Rohit caught a good rhythm after playing the first 50 balls. His only positive shot in the beginning was a four over square leg off Mitchell Starc.

The first real glimpse of Rohit came when he hit two sixes with a pull shot on Mitchell Owen’s medium pace balls. 17 runs were scored in Owen’s over. Iyer also preferred to rotate the strike, which increased the run rate. World Cup 2027 is still far away but Rohit wanted to prove that his spirits are still high. After the initial phase, Rohit did not look uncomfortable in any way.

Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh did wonders with the bat

He had enough time for his 33rd ODI century, but he was caught by Hazlewood while trying to send Starc’s ball beyond the square leg boundary. Iyer also played Zampa’s ball on the wickets after completing his half-century, while KL Rahul (11) also got bowled after missing the leg spinner’s straight ball.

Akshar and Washington Sundar (12) added 39 runs for the sixth wicket, but then both these batsmen were out in quick succession, after which Harshit and Arshdeep took the team to a challenging score. Harshit hit three fours while Arshdeep hit two fours.

Virat Kohli is out on zero for the second time in a row. In the second ODI being played against Australia at Adelaide Oval, Xavier Bartlett got him out LBW. Kohli talked to Rohit for some time and walked out of the field, deciding not to take the review. This is the first time in ODI history that Kohli could not open his account in two consecutive matches.

Earlier, after winning the toss, Mitchell Marsh had decided to bowl first. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma started the innings, both of them batted carefully but as soon as Gill attempted a shot, he was caught out. After this, Virat Kohli came on the field, a big innings was expected from him because Adelaide Oval has been one of his favorite grounds. But here also he was out on zero.

Xavier Bartlett took Kohli’s wicket

26-year-old Xavier Bartlett got Virat Kohli out LBW on the 5th ball of the 7th over. This ball of Bartlett was on good length. On this inswinging ball, Kohli wanted to flick it from the back foot towards mid-wicket but the ball did not hit the bat. The ball hit the pad straight, an appeal was made and the umpire gave out. Kohli talked to Rohit for some time but decided that he was out and DRS should not be taken. He returned to the pavilion on zero after playing 4 balls.

This was Bartlett’s first over. On its first ball, he took India’s first wicket in the form of Shubhman Gill. Gill scored 9 runs playing 9 balls.

Where to watch live telecast of India vs Australia 2nd ODI?

India vs Australia second ODI will be played on Thursday. According to Indian time, this match will start at 9 am on October 23, the toss will take place at 8:30 am. The match will be telecast live on Star Sports. Live streaming will be on JioHotstar app and website.

India vs Australia 2nd ODI will be played in Adelaide on Thursday. Shubman Gill and team are trailing 0-1 in the 3-match ODI series. In the second match, all eyes will be on the performance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, because both of them flopped badly in the last match. When Rohit was out after scoring 8 runs, Kohli could not even open his account. A day before the second match, Team India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak came to the press conference, where he answered the questions related to the form of Rohit and Kohli.

Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli came to play international matches after about 8 months. But both were flops, the veterans also had to face criticism on social media regarding their form. The batting coach who came to the press conference was asked whether the form of these two batsmen was looking bad?

The coach gave this answer on the form of Rohit and Virat

Kotak said, “I don’t think so. They have played IPL, the preparation has been good. I think it (flop in the first ODI) happened because of the weather, if Australia had batted first, the same thing would have happened to them. When the match is stopped 4-5 times, you go in and then come out, it is not easy.”

When the batting coach was asked whether Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma needed guidance from the coach, he believed that unless absolutely necessary, there should be minimal intervention. He said, “Both the batsmen are experienced. They had done complete preparation before coming to Australia. I think it is too early to form an opinion about them. They have just retired from the Test format. Before coming here, we all knew their fitness level and preparation. We had got their videos in the NCA. There is no need to interfere immediately with such players if you feel that they are doing well. Too much interference would not be a good way.”

Both seem to be in good rhythm – batting coach

The coach further said, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were looking in good form. He batted well in the nets yesterday. “To be honest, I think he’s doing well.”

India vs Australia 2nd ODI will be played on 23 October at Adelaide Oval. According to Australia time, this match will start at 2 pm. The match will start at 9 am Indian time, the toss will take place at 8:30 am.
