Rohit Sharma Becomes Highest Indian Run-Scorer in Australia During Adelaide ODI

Australia won the toss and elected to bowl in the second match of the ongoing ODI series against India in Adelaide. India, batting unchanged, had a disastrous start, losing two crucial wickets for just 17 runs. Captain Shubman Gill returned to the pavilion after scoring 9 runs off 9 balls. Virat Kohli was then dismissed LBW four balls later. Rohit Sharma has held his ground at one end in this match. He has created a major record against Australia by scoring 2 runs.

Rohit Sharma has created history in the second ODI against Australia, by scoring over 1,000 runs in his 21st ODI against Australia on Australian soil. Prior to this match, he had scored four centuries and two half-centuries against Australia in Australia. He has now become the highest run-scorer for an Indian batsman in Australia. He achieved this record by scoring just two runs in Adelaide.

Former West Indies captain Viv Richards holds the world record for most runs against Australia in Australia. Richards scored 1,905 runs in 40 matches against Australia in Australia. If Rohit Sharma were to play as many matches as him, he could break this record. However, it remains to be seen how long the 38-year-old, who has retired from T20 and Test cricket, can continue to play.

After losing the toss and opting to bat first, Team India had a poor start. They lost the wickets of Shubman Gill (9) and Virat Kohli (0) in the 7th over at the score of 17. Rohit Sharma is supported by Shreyas Iyer at the other end. India have scored 78 runs for the loss of two wickets in 18.3 overs. Rohit is on 42, while Shreyas is on 25.
