The second match of the ODI series between India and Australia will be played on October 23 at the Adelaide Oval. Team India’s veteran batsman Virat Kohli will be looking to play a big innings with the bat. Virat Kohli failed to open his account in the first ODI of the series played in Perth, and Team India suffered a defeat there. Meanwhile, ahead of the second ODI, Australian ( Australian ) batsman Matthew Short has made a big statement. He has stated that his team will want to dismiss Virat as quickly as possible in the next match.
What is Australia’s plan regarding Virat Kohli?
Matthew Short said in the press conference, “I wasn’t in the fast bowlers’ meeting, but it seems Kohli has been getting out in a similar manner recently.” He said that some players, like Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, have bowled against him a lot and they know what they are doing. Short said that in Perth, they let the conditions do their work. There was a little swing and bounce on the wicket, so I’m sure they’ll do the same again.
What Matthew Short said about Virat’s fan following
Short further said that when Rohit or Shubman Gill were out in Perth that day, and then Kohli came on, the fans were chanting only for him. When he was coming out, as a batsman, you felt very bad leaving the field. It was a great experience. Both Rohit and Kohli looked out of form in their comeback match. Rohit was out for eight runs, while Virat was out for a duck. Australia captain Mitchell Marsh scored an unbeaten 46 runs, leading the team to a seven-wicket victory in a rain-affected match. India is trailing 0-1 in the series, so winning the match in Adelaide is crucial. Team India will want to stay in the series by winning this match.
Australia suffered a major setback before the second ODI
Let us tell you that Australia suffered a major setback before the second ODI. Meanwhile, left-arm fast bowler Ben Dwarshuis has been ruled out of the ODI series due to a calf injury. He is expected to be available for the T20 International series, which begins in Canberra on October 29. The final match of the three-match ODI series will be played in Sydney on Saturday.
