India Next ODI Series In Australia: India ended the series with a win by defeating Australia in the third ODI. Australia won this ODI series 2-1, but Team India’s victory in the third ODI has made the hearts of the fans happy. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the heroes of this victory of India. There was an unbroken partnership of 168 runs between these two star players. Rohit Sharma scored unbeaten 121 runs in 125 balls. Whereas Virat Kohli played an unbeaten inning of 74 runs in 81 balls. But after this match played in Sydney, Virat-Rohit said goodbye to Australia.

Why did Virat-Rohit say goodbye?

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have already retired from Test and T20 International. These two star players of the Indian cricket team now play only ODI cricket. In such a situation, it can be assumed that this is the last tour of Rohit-Virat in Australia as cricketers. After leading Team India to victory in the third ODI, Virat and Rohit thanked the Australian fans who came to the stadium.

Next ODI series with Australia?

No next ODI series will be played between India and Australia till the 2027 World Cup. The schedule of the Indian cricket team till the next ODI World Cup is fixed. Whereas Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can announce their retirement after playing ODI World Cup 2027. In such a situation, it can be considered very difficult for Virat and Rohit to come to Australia for the next ODI series.

Rohit-Virat said- ‘Thank you’

Regarding his experience in Australia, Rohit Sharma said, ‘I have loved playing in Sydney. Memories of 2008 came before me, it was all very good. Rohit further said that I don’t know whether we as cricketers will be able to play here again or not, but I enjoyed every moment here today.

Virat Kohli also expressed his gratitude to the Australian fans and said, ‘I think we started here from 2013. I have loved coming and playing in this country, we have played a lot of cricket here. The Australian crowd has always supported us here on this ground.

Virat Kohli’s superhit catch

Virat Kohli is one of the fittest players in the Indian cricket team. The same fitness of Virat was also visible in the third ODI against Australia, when Kohli took a brilliant catch on the third ball of the 22nd over. Washington was bowling beautifully and Australian batsman Matthew was on short strike. As soon as Short played the shot, the ball got stuck in the hands of Virat Kohli standing at square leg. With this wicket, Matthew Short was out after scoring 30 runs in 41 balls and Australia’s third wicket fell at the score of 124.

Shreyas Iyer also did wonders

After Virat Kohli, Indian team’s vice-captain Shreyas Iyer also took an amazing catch. When Harshit Rana came to bowl in the 33rd over, Shreyas Iyer took a brilliant catch of Alex Carey on the fourth ball of this over and got a big wicket for India. Australia lost its fourth wicket at the score of 183.

Left Sourav Ganguly behind

Rohit Sharma has left Sourav Ganguly behind in scoring the most runs for India in ODIs. Now Rohit has come at third place in this list, Ganguly has reached fourth place. Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are ahead of Rohit.

Sachin has scored 18426 runs in ODIs for India. He is the highest run-scorer not only in India but also in the world in ODIs. Virat is at second place in the list, who has scored 14181 runs. Although this tour of Australia has been a nightmare for Kohli, Kohli has failed in the first 2 matches.
‘Duck’ out.

Became the first Asian batsman to do so

Rohit Sharma hit 2 sixes in this innings of 73 runs, which he hit in a single over. With this, he has become the first Asian batsman to hit 150 sixes in the host countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia). This proves that he is not called the hitman of cricket just like that.

Completed 1000 ODI runs in Australia

Rohit Sharma had made a big record in his name after scoring just 2 runs. He completed 1000 ODI runs against Australia in Australia. There are other Indians who have scored 1000 ODI runs in Australia, but Rohit Sharma has become the first Indian batsman to score 1000 ODI runs against Australia in Australia.

The lion of the cricket field, who ruled this game for years. That Virat Kohli is now at the last stage of his career, not we but every cricket legend is saying this. Although Virat’s fitness is excellent, it is believed that he will take retirement from ODI soon. Kohli was out for zero in Perth, the same happened in Adelaide also. Kohli could not open the account, but while returning from the ground to the pavilion, he did something which has upset the fans.

Virat Kohli came to bat in the 7th over, when India’s first wicket fell in the form of captain Shubman Gill. A big innings was expected from Kohli because he had previously scored centuries twice in the four innings played on this ground. But today he could not even open the account, Xavier Bartlett dismissed Gill and Kohli in the same over.

When will Virat Kohli retire from ODI?

Even before the series, it was being said that the performance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in Australia would decide their future. On a question related to this, coach Gautam Gambhir had also said that he is not thinking ahead, it has to be seen how the performance of both of them is in this series. Hope his visit will be good.

But for Virat Kohli, both the matches so far have been like a nightmare. After Perth, he was out for zero in Adelaide also. This is the first time in the career of Virat Kohli, who has played more than 300 ODIs, that he was out twice consecutively without opening the account. Now his gesture in Adelaide is scaring the fans that he might actually announce his retirement after this series. Because many fans want to see him play the 2027 ODI World Cup.

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.
