India beat Australia by five wickets in the first ODI
IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia will be played at the VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 19. In this match, Team India’s eyes will be on capturing the series. Team India took a 1-0 lead by winning the first match of the series by 5 wickets in Mumbai. Now look at the record of Team India in Vizag, then let us tell you that the Indian team lost the last ODI here in 2013. The special thing is that that defeat was the only defeat of Team India on this ground.
The Indian team has played a total of 9 ODIs here, out of which the team has lost only once. Apart from that, India has won seven matches on this ground and one match has ended in a tie. Team India’s only defeat has been against the West Indies on this ground. At the same time, the one match which has been tied has also happened against the West Indies only. The Aussies can certainly be in for a panic considering India’s impressive record at this ground. Australia will also play ODI against India here for the second time. The last time both the teams met here was in 2010 and India won that encounter by 5 wickets.
Visakhapatnam Cricket Stadium
Many Indian players have had a great record on this ground. Kuldeep Yadav has taken 9 wickets in three matches here. Apart from this, in batting, Virat Kohli is the top Indian batsman in terms of scoring runs on this ground. He has scored 556 runs in 6 matches here which includes three centuries. His highest score here is 157. On the other hand, captain Rohit Sharma is also making a comeback who has scored 342 runs in 6 matches here with one century in his name. His best score is 159 runs at this ground.
India will have to rectify the mistake
In the first ODI, the top order of Team India proved to be a miserable failure. Mitchell Starc had put Team India in trouble by sending Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill back to the pavilion. Thankfully Rahul and Jadeja saved the match. Now in the second ODI, Team India will have to rectify this mistake. Indian batsmen are often seen in trouble in front of left arm bowlers in white ball cricket. Team India will have to learn from this mistake in Vizag. On the other hand, the Kangaroo team also needs to improve its batting. Apart from Mitchell Marsh’s 81 runs in the first match, no one had contributed much.
