India’s batting in the first ODI (IND vs AUS) was very disappointing. Team India could not even complete 50 overs and could only score 136/9.

Rohit scored only 8 runs while Virat returned to the pavilion without opening the account.

There was a coaching staff meeting immediately after the match, which included Gautam Gambhir, Shubman Gill, bowling coach Morne Morkel and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak. During this time, the moment between Gambhir and Gill was captured on camera, in which an intense discussion was seen between the two.

In the post match presentation, Shubman Gill honestly admitted after the defeat that the team had a weak start and losing three wickets in the powerplay was costly. Gill said, “When you lose three wickets in the powerplay, it becomes difficult to come back in the game. We tried to save 130 runs and took the match very deep. There were many lessons learned from it and some positive things as well.”
