Adelaid ODI shock: Virat Kohli safe, but Rohit Sharma in big trouble

In the first ODI between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval, the match brought contrasting fortunes for India’s two senior batters — Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Kohli, known for his stellar record at this venue with multiple centuries and an impressive average across formats, surprisingly fell for a duck after facing just eight balls, a rare setback in his otherwise dominant run at Adelaide. Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, continued his struggles at this ground, managing only 8 runs before getting dismissed, adding to his modest tally of 131 runs in six ODIs played here. While Kohli’s consistent past performances keep him safe from scrutiny, Rohit now faces mounting pressure to deliver in the upcoming matches as India seeks to bounce back strongly in the series.
