The Indian cricket team got an unwanted record
With this loss, the Indian cricket team got an unwanted record, as it was their first ODI defeat at the famous Adelaide Oval in 17 years. The last time India lost to Australia in Adelaide was in February 2008, when they were beaten by 50 runs.
At the same time, Shubman Gill joined an unwanted group. He became the sixth Indian captain to lose his first two ODI games as captain. The first to do this was Ajit Wadekar. Before the 50-over series with Australia began, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made Shubman Gill the new ODI captain after removing Rohit Sharma from the role.
What happened in the first ODI?
In the first ODI of the series versus Australia, Team India lost by seven wickets in Perth on October 19. After losing the second match to Australia as well, India had already lost the series even though one match was still left to play.
What are Shubman Gill’s ODI stats?
Shubman Gill made his first ODI appearance for Team India in 2019 against New Zealand. Since then, he has played 57 ODI games, scoring 2,794 runs with a strike rate of 99.28 and an average of 57.02. The 26-year-old has hit eight centuries and 15 half-centuries in ODIs for India.
