This comes as a huge surprise, as only one match has been played so far in the ongoing three-match ODI series between the Shubman Gill-led India National Cricket Team and Mitchell Marsh-led Australia National Cricket Team.
Gill's poor luck at the toss continued as the coin fell in Mitchell Marsh's favor, and the Australia National Cricket Team invited the Indians to bat first in the match.
From there on, things only got difficult for India as there were numerous rain breaks, and after every break the bowlers managed to pick wickets. Due to multiple interruptions, the first ODI was reduced to a 26-over-per-side contest, and KL Rahul top-scored with 38 to guide India to 136/9.

As far as I know, it cannot be the coach's call - Ex-India star
"As far as I know, it cannot be the coach's call. The coach has to work with the team he has got. It's not about the coach's comfort. The coach has to adjust to the team. It's not the other way round. That's how it happens in cricket. You have a highly capable batter in Shubman Gill. He has age on his side and has an experience of 5-6 years in international cricket. So, I think it is the selectors who have taken the call," Bangar said on Star Sports.
"It's an absolutely fair call. Coach Gautam Gambhir also mentioned in his interview that people need to think about me also. We have been thinking that the team is of the captain but the way coaches work these days, the effort that goes behind the scenes.
"It's not easy for them to work with captains, who may have different philosophies, especially if they are not even travelling together. Shubman Gill is one player who travels with the team in all formats. It is not easy to plan and keep communicating. I'm with Gautam Gambhir at this time when he said he needed only two captains and not three."
