India's encounter against Australia in the first ODI match isn't going as expected since Rohit Sharma departed on eight runs followed by Virat Kohli on a duck. The excitement of the fans have come to an hault as they waited for 224 days to watch the legendary duo perform on the field. Meanwhile, the visitors are also struggling to hold on to the wickets as they have lost Shubman Gill as well.
Can India put up a respectable total against Australia?
While India still have some pretty decent batters in the line-up, the wickets of the top three batters might cost the match. With the overcast conditions, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have kept the match pretty tight for the Indian team. The batters have struggled to find boundaries or even gaps.
Nevertheless, they still have time to turn the game around and put up a respectable total on the board. Both Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel are top-notch batters and this isn't the first time they have the responsibility of saving India from a crisis situation.
Meanwhile, Australia's bowling attack has been phenomenal throughout the match. They have managed to picked up three wickets with the overcast conditions speaks volumes about the kind of strength they have. While Hazlewood dismissed Rohit, Starc dismissed Virat Kohli, and Nathan Ellis sent back captain Shubman Gill.
For India to score well, they'll have to understand the ball and then start hitting. With just seven wickets in hand, the situation looks tough for the Indian team. However, with an extra batter in the line-up, a score of 250-260 would be a pretty good target for India to defend.
