In the last 30 years, such a disappointment from India twice! Captain Rohit both times, a nameless record as a captain

India’s regular captain Rohit Sharma was not present in the first ODI against Australia. Rohit was present for the second ODI, but the team’s performance under his leadership was quite disappointing. The fans were very disappointed as the Indian team was bowled out for just 117 runs in the ODI match at home. This is only the second time in the last 30 years that an Indian team has been bowled out for less than 120 in an ODI at home.

As the regular captain of the Indian team, Rohit Sharma, was not playing in the first ODI match, the captaincy was held by Hardik Pandya. Under the leadership of Hardik, India won the first ODI match in Kasabas. But in the second ODI, the condition of the team became worse than the first ODI. In the last three years, India have been bowled out within 120 runs only twice in ODIs at home. Interestingly, the role of captain in both these matches was played by none other than Rohit Sharma himself. In this case, this can be called an undesirable record for Rohit.

Australian legend Mitchell Starc took a five-wicket haul in the first ODI played on Sunday (March 19). As a result, the entire Indian team was bowled out for just 117 runs. Earlier, India had done such a poor performance in the ODI match against Sri Lanka in 2017. The Indian team led by Rohit was all out after scoring just 112 runs. Suranga Lakmal took the highest 4 wickets for India in this match and also won the man of the match award.
