Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill combine to achieve a shameful record ...Middle East

Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and chose to field. The hosts gave Matthew Renshaw and Mitchell Owen their ODI debuts. On the other hand, India went in with an inexperienced pace attack, featuring Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh, as Jasprit Bumrah was rested for the series.

Shubman Gill, playing his debut game as ODI captain, also struggled with the bat, departing after scoring 10 off 18 deliveries. India had slumped to 25/3 in 8.1 overs, leaving the team in a precarious position.

Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli Achieved an Unwanted ODI Record

India’s top three batters, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli, managed to score just 18 runs combined in today’s ODI against Australia. Notably, it was their lowest aggregate total at the top of the order in a men’s ODI since the 2019 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand.

Mitchell Starc became only the second bowler, after James Anderson, to dismiss Kohli for a duck twice in international cricket. Meanwhile, India’s total of 25 runs after losing their first three wickets, including Rohit, Kohli, and Gill, is the lowest ever for this top-order trio in an ODI.
