IND vs AUS ODI: The bats of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who were making a comeback against Australia after a long time, flopped in the first match. Team India’s batsmen were in trouble on the bouncy, fast pitch of Perth. Here we will tell you about 3 big wickets.
India vs Australia, 1st ODI Perth: The first ODI match between India and Australia is being played at Perth Stadium. After a long time, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were seen in Indian jersey, but did not do anything amazing with the bat. In the first powerplay itself, both the experienced players of Team India returned to the pavilion. In this match against Australia, India lost 3 wickets at the score of 25 due to bounce and pace. Gill, Virat and Rohit were out from the top order. Let us know how all four batsmen got out.
Rohit Sharma
The first blow to the Indian team came in the form of Rohit Sharma in 3.4 overs. When Hitman came to bat, it seemed that he was in good form. He also hit one or two good shots. But, a ball from Josh Hazlewood became a call for him. Hazlewood bowled at a speed of 137, which had unlimited bounce. After that Rohit started defending by moving his hands back, then the ball hits the gloves and goes straight into the hands of the third slip. In this way Rohit was out after scoring 8 runs.
Virat Kohli
Something similar happened in the 7th over with Virat Kohli, who was returning to the Indian team after 7 months. Mitchell Starc bowled outside off and swung at the batsman, in which Kohli got trapped. Virat tried to hit a fast drive by opening the face of the bat, but the ball went near the fielder standing at the backward point. In this way King Kohli was out without opening the account.

Shubhman Gill
A similar story like that of Rohit and Virat was seen with Team India’s ODI captain Shubman Gill. Gill was dismissed by Nathan Ellis on the first ball of the 9th over. His good length delivery was going down the leg, which Gill played fine and attempted to hit for a four. But due to high bounce, the ball took the edge of the gloves and went into the hands of the keeper. Gill’s innings ended on the score of 10.
India lost 1 run due to Akshar Patel’s mistake
Axar Patel came to bat in the 9th over after early wickets fell in the first innings against Australia. Shreyas Iyer was already present on the field, so his job was to support. During this, he caused a loss of one run in the 11th over. Axar hit the first ball of Mitchell Starc’s over towards cover point, after which both the batsmen ran away to take 3 runs and completed them. But, Akshar did not keep his bat inside the crease and ran away to score runs. Then the team got 1 run less.
