Delhi: India had to face defeat in the second ODI against Australia, with which Shubman Gill lost the first series under his captaincy. Now only the last match is left in this three-match series. Gill’s bat could not perform well in both the matches, even though the team was in dire need of victory.

Dropping the catch became a major reason for the defeat

After losing the match, Shubman Gill said that the team had scored a good score, but the mistakes made in fielding proved costly. He said, “We had enough runs on the board, when you give up some chances while defending that many scores, it is never easy. There was an impact of rain in the first game, but in this match both the teams played almost the full 50 overs. The wicket was a bit helpful in the beginning, but after 15-20 overs it became easy to bat on.”

Praised Rohit Sharma’s innings

Gill praised Rohit Sharma’s batting a lot. He said, “It is not easy to come back after a long time and play competitive cricket, but I am very happy with the way Rohit batted. He struggled in the initial overs, but then looked in great form. I would say that he missed playing a big innings.”

Rohit Sharma broke Sourav Ganguly’s record

Rohit Sharma played an excellent inning of 73 runs in this match. With this he left Sourav Ganguly behind in the list of highest run scorers for India in ODI cricket. Now Rohit has reached third place. Only Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar are ahead of him.

Gill and Kohli’s batting remained lackluster

While Rohit performed brilliantly, both captain Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli proved to be flops in this match. However, Gill did not react to his poor batting. Now it will be interesting to see whether Team India is able to save honor in the series in the last ODI or not.
