Why Team India got thrashed by Australia?:Virat Kohli flopped, Shubman Gill failed the captaincy test, 5 reasons for the loss

The Indian team has lost the ODI series on the Australia tour. Australia secured one-sided victories in the first two matches of the three-match series. In both ODIs, Team India was badly beaten in batting, bowling, and fielding. There were five major reasons behind India’s poor performance. Let’s know them one by one. 1. Losing the toss in both matches In both Perth and Adelaide, the conditions were such that the team fielding first would benefit, but Indian captain Shubman Gill lost both tosses. India had to bat first both times, and Team India could not score enough runs in either match. In Perth, the Indian innings was stopped four times due to rain. This prevented the team from gaining any momentum. Initially, the ball was seaming and swinging quite a bit, which also added to the trouble. In Adelaide, too, it had rained until the day before the match. The pitch remained under covers for a long time and had a lot of moisture. The Australian fast bowlers took advantage of this. 2. Extremely weak performance of top-3 batsmen ODI cricket is called the game of top-3 batsmen. If even one batsman from the top three scores a century, a big score for the team is almost guaranteed, but India’s top-3 could not perform well in both matches. Captain Shubman Gill scored 10 runs in Perth and 9 runs in Adelaide. Virat Kohli was out for zero both times. Rohit Sharma batted well in Adelaide, but he also failed in Perth. This means that in a total of 6 innings by India’s top-3 batsmen across two matches, only one half-century was scored. Combining both matches, all three players could only score 100 runs. 3. Not giving a chance to Kuldeep Yadav
The Indian think tank focused more on batting, and as a result, the bowling proved to be weak. On Australian pitches, wrist spinners are more successful than finger spinners. Still, Kuldeep Yadav remained on the bench in both matches. Axar Patel and Washington Sundar bowled well, but they could not prove to be very effective. 4. Shubman Gill’s ineffective captaincy Shubman Gill not only failed as a batsman but also proved ineffective as a captain. In both matches, the Indian team could not play with the same enthusiasm and zeal that was seen under the captaincy of Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma. Gill’s field placements and bowling changes were also not effective. 5. Poor performance of fast bowlers India’s fast bowlers could not perform well even in helpful conditions. Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana together could only take 5 wickets in 2 matches. Mohammed Siraj did not get a single wicket in 2 matches. On the other hand, fast bowlers took 11 wickets for Australia.
