🇮🇳 Australia vs India: India’s Batting Struggles 😓
India’s innings began under overcast skies after Australia vs India coin toss went in the host’s favor. Since conditions favored seamers, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc exploited the movement early.
- Rohit Sharma (8) was dismissed cheaply, while Shubman Gill (10) couldn’t build momentum.
- Soon after, Virat Kohli (0) fell for a duck, leaving India reeling at 21/2.
Although Shreyas Iyer (11) tried to steady things, wickets continued to fall regularly.
KL Rahul (38 off 31) and Axar Patel (31 off 38) formed a crucial partnership in the middle overs. However, their dismissals triggered another collapse.
Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy (19 off 11)* injected energy late on, hitting two towering sixes. Despite his cameo, India was bowled out for 136/9 in 26 overs — well below par for an Australia vs India ODI.
💥 Australia vs India: Aussie Bowlers Dominate 🔥

Mitchell Owen (2/20) bowled aggressively in the middle overs, while Nathan Ellis (1/29) varied his pace cleverly. Consequently, India never built partnerships, and their run rate dropped sharply.

For India, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, and Arshdeep Singh claimed one wicket each. However, none of them could create pressure for long against Australia’s confident top order.
