India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Virat Kohli has a great record at the Adelaide Oval.
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: India continue to have truly rotten luck at the toss in ODI cricket, as they lose yet another flip in Adelaide. An important toss to win, and Mitchell Marsh unsurprisingly chooses to bowl first and put India’s top order to the test again. India remain unchanged for this match, but Australia ring in the changes with three players coming in.
The action in the India tour of Australia now shifts to Adelaide for the second ODI of the three-match series. The visitors walk into this game chasing oxygen and answers. A seven-wicket loss in a rain-slashed opener at Perth left Shubman Gill’s side 1-0 down. While India would look to improve their game in all aspects, Australia would be eager to continue their dominance.
The eyes will once more be on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The buildup to the Perth ODI centered around the return of the two star players. However, things turned out to be anticlimactic for the Indian fans. While Rohit Sharma managed only 8 runs off 14 deliveries, Virat Kohli failed to trouble the scorers, playing eight deliveries in the match. Besides these two batters, the rest of the batting also failed to show the resilience that was expected of the second-best team in the ODIs (runners-up in World Cup 2023). The result was a below-par score that the Aussies chased down without much trouble.
On the other hand, the hosts will be quietly confident of their performance. In the first ODI, their prime pacers in Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, gave brilliant performances. While the conditions are expected to be slightly different in Adelaide, the management will hope that the form of these two pacers continues. Mitchell Marsh would hope that his unit gives another strong show and seals the deal before the decider in SCG.
