Kohli was dismissed on a duck in 1st ODI
Kohli, who was dismissed on duck in the first ODI, would love to get going during the second ODI at his favourite Adelaide Stadium. After playing seven dots, Kohli went for a forced square drive against Mitchell Starc and got caught at backward point by Cooper Connolly.
India faced a tough 7-wicket defeat in Perth and now face a must-win situation to stay alive in the series. Australia are leading the 3-match series by 1-0.
