After winning the first ODI by five wickets, all eyes were on Team India when they took on Australia in the second game of the ongoing three-match ODI series. The Men in Blue locked horns with the Aussies in Vizag. India were looking for another win to seal the series while the Aussies were looking to keep them alive in the series.
However, after missing the series opener, Rohit Sharma made a comeback. Australia made two changes as they brought in Nathan Ellis and Alex Carey in place of Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell. On the other hand, team India made two changes also. The skipper Rohit Sharma replaced Ishan Kishan while Axar Patel came in place of Shardul Thakur.
India got bundled out for just 117 runs against Australia in the second ODI in Vizag
Steve Smith won the toss and opted to bowl first. For the home side, Rohit and Gill came out to open the innings. But, Gill again failed to score big as he got out for a duck. Then, Rohit got out for just 13 runs off 15 balls, including two fours. After that, Suryakumar Yadav scored another golden duck as his poor run-off in ODIs continued. Virat Kohli showed some fight before getting out on 31 runs off 35 balls, including four boundaries. Apart from him, Ravindra Jadeja scored 16 runs and Axar Patel scored 29* runs off 29 balls, including one four and two sixes.
For Australia, Mitchell Starc showed his class again with the new ball. He took a fifer for 53 runs in eight overs. Along with him, Sean Abbott took three wickets for 23 runs in six overs and Nathan Ellis grabbed two wickets for 13 runs in five overs. Hence, India got bundled out for just 117 runs and set a target of 118 runs for the visitors. Seeing such a terrible batting performance, fans went crazy and shared their views on social media.
Here are some funny memes over the batting failure of team India in the second ODI:
