India vs Australia Live Updates: Rohit Sharma goes for a pull shot against Australia.
India vs Australia Live Updates: A good recovery from India’s batters after a pair of early shocks. Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer take their time on a pitch which is bowler-friendly. Quietly putting together a nice partnership to settle some nerves. Virat Kohli walks back with back to back ducks in the series! India in deep trouble again as Xavier Bartlett picks up a pair of wickets in one over, first dismissing Shubman Gill, then trapping Kohli LBW. Back to the wall again for the Indian batting.…Read More
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.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in focus
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.

India vs Australia Live Updates: Rohit beginning to look good now!
India vs Australia Live Updates: This is the Rohit Sharma of old, from when he was racking up the centuries in the mid 2010s in this format. Got his eye set early in the piece against good bowling, and with the field spread and runs on offer, picking up boundaries with ease. He makes it look so easy sometimes. Check drive over cover for four off Zampa, one bounce for four. Glorious shot.
Oct 23, 2025 10:54 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: 100 up for India
India vs Australia Live Updates: India ticking it along nicely now with the spinners in action. India won’t mind this at all, will just let them build through this phase without absorbing too much pressure.

India vs Australia Live Updates: FIFTY FOR ROHIT SHARMA!
India vs Australia Live Updates: It hasn’t been a vintage innings by any means, but Rohit Sharma has fought through a tough period to start his innings to work his way to his 59th ODI ton. Very important innings from him, and he has the platform to keep this going now that he is well set. Important for him.
Oct 23, 2025 10:44 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: 86/2 after 20, and spin comes on
India vs Australia Live Updates: Adam Zampa comes on as this partnership grows. India will like this change, particularly Shreyas, but he will need to be careful not throw away a really good start against the seamers here.
Oct 23, 2025 10:38 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: India on the charge! 17 off the over
India vs Australia Live Updates: They fought through some elite bowling from Hazlewood, and some really htreatening spells from Bartlett. With the change bowler on and Mitchell Owen rolling his arm over, India don’t let the opportunity pass. Shreyas also with a glorious off-drive to pick up four more and cap a huge over!
83/2 after 19 overs.
Oct 23, 2025 10:35 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: First six! Trademark Rohit pull shot clears the boundary, and then again!
India vs Australia Live Updates: There it is! The crowd has been waiting for this. Mitchell Owen drops it short, too short, and you can’t bowl there to Rohit – not when he’s this set. Doesn’t get all of it, but gets enough to clear the boundary.
Two balls later, and wow, that one is crisp! Not too short this time, but he has seen enough. Picks it up from a length outside off and deposits it deep over square leg. Here we go!
Oct 23, 2025 10:31 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Shreyas beginning to take the charge
India vs Australia Live Updates: Shreyas Iyer has gotten his eye in and tries to become the aggressor in this partnership. Lofts Bartlett over the off-side a couple of times. India will want small targets to be set from here, and achieve them one by one.
59/2 after 17.
Oct 23, 2025 10:19 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: 50 up for India
India vs Australia Live Updates: It has taken 14.4 overs, but one small milestone down for India. Rohit Sharma isn’t trying to take risks here, happy to bide his time on a pitch where scoring is difficult. Shreyas Iyer getting set too: this could be a dangerous partnership if it grows, given India’s batting depth.
Oct 23, 2025 10:11 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Hazlewood back for 7th over of his spell – and Shreyas drives him through point
India vs Australia Live Updates: Really extensive opening spell from Hazlewood, as Marsh tries to pry the wicket of either Shreyas or Rohit. But Shreyas is prepared for the length this time, keeps his weight on his back foot and punches to find the gap. Have to imagine Hazlewood will be held back for the death now.
Oct 23, 2025 10:02 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Australia burn both reviews early, both Rohit living on the edge
India vs Australia Live Updates: My my, he’s been really uncomfortable but he might be on the verge of seeing out 6 early overs from Hazlewood, who has just been absolutely on the money.
Oct 23, 2025 9:51 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Shreyas survives close calls vs Hazlewood, 29/2 after powerplay
India vs Australia Live Updates: Oof, couldn’t be much closer from Hazlewood. Cuts Shreyas Iyer in half twice in a row to close out the powerplay.
Another powerplay to forget for India. Josh Hazlewood at the top of his game. But the powerplay is survived, and now rotating the strike will be so crucial to get the runs going.
Oct 23, 2025 9:37 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: KOHLI GONE ON ANOTHER DUCK! Bartlett at the double
India vs Australia Live Updates: Disaster for Kohli! His head falls over too much and he just plays across one, can’t get bat on it. Rapped on his pads, and doesn’t go for DRS. Bartlett has two in the same over, and this is turning into a nightmare return tour for Kohli! Wow. Wow.
Oct 23, 2025 9:34 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Pressure tells, but it’s Gill who pays! Picks out mid-off
India vs Australia Live Updates: Not what India needed! Rohit was under the cosh, and the pressure fell on Gill to accelerate. He steps out and tries to drive, and it’s a good hit, but neither straight enough nor elevated enough. He picks up Mitchell Marsh, who takes a good catch.
In 6.1 overs, he only faced 9 balls, and scored 9 runs. India are 17/1.
Oct 23, 2025 9:27 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Gill finds first runs off Hazlewood
India vs Australia Live Updates: Gill shows his senior partner how to handle Hazlewood. Uses his feet to offset the length and picks up three with a drive through covers.
Hang on now, Rohit goes for a big hoick and misses altogether. Not out, but Marsh goes for the review…
Oct 23, 2025 9:20 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Rohit struggling against Hazlewood, back to back maidens for him
India vs Australia Live Updates: Rohit looks very nervous against Hazlewood, gets beaten on both edges repeatedly in this over. Just looks out of sorts against the right arm seamer. Mark Waugh on air advocates for taking him on and going for his shots.
Early switch – Starc off, Bartlett comes on. Interesting.
Oct 23, 2025 9:15 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Gill and Rohit get going, pair of 4s off Starc
India vs Australia Live Updates: Better from India! Commanding from Gill, gets to the pitch of one outside off and times it through the vacant covers. A couple of overs later, Rohit gets a half-volley on his pads, and doesn’t need another invitation to flick it away towards the short square leg boundary for four more.
11/0 after 3.
Oct 23, 2025 9:14 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Rohit with a huge dive to prevent a run-out! Spectacular from Mitch Owen
India vs Australia Live Updates: So close! And such an important dive from Rohit. Gill plays it to the left of Owen at point, who puts in a very good dive to stop it. Not only that, he notices that Rohit has been sent back, and fires it at the non-striker’s end, and nearly gets him with a direct hit. Rohit is stretching, and those extra couple of inches from the dive save him!
Oct 23, 2025 9:11 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: On the mark immediately from Hazlewood, maiden over
India vs Australia Live Updates: Very good from Hazlewood. He takes no time to find his rhythm at all. Right on the money, trying to generate that extra bounce. Rohit sees out a maiden.
Oct 23, 2025 9:06 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Just 1 off the first over
India vs Australia Live Updates: Good from Starc. Not his fastest over, but good length early on. India happy to settle for a single.
Oct 23, 2025 9:02 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: Starc gets us going against Rohit
India vs Australia Live Updates: Here we go! Floated up outside off by Starc, and a play-and-miss by Rohit. Loose from him, will want to be careful.
Oct 23, 2025 8:59 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Updates: India up against it – chasing is the go-to in Adelaide
India vs Australia Live Updates: The bad news for India is that each of the last three ODIs in Adelaide have been won by the team which has chased. However, the good news is that India have a five-match unbeaten streak in ODIs at this venue. Which of these two streaks will end? We find out as Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill walk out to a packed crowd at the Adelaide Oval.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: India told to only target 230-250
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Adelaide has typically been a bowling friendly surface. This will be the case with cooler temperatures in Adelaide at the start of the Aussie summer. This pitch won’t be quite as spicy as Perth, but it will still be one that is tough to play attacking shots on. Parthiv Patel in the pre-game show tells India to target a conservative score and ensure runs on the board.
Oct 23, 2025 8:50 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Another early new ball challenge for Rohit, Gill, Kohli
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: This is what killed India in Perth, and what they will need to be careful about in the first 10 to 15 overs in Adelaide. They know they will be under the pump, particularly from Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. They need to ensure they don’t help two high quality bowlers find it easier to dismiss them.
Oct 23, 2025 8:43 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Australia with three changes

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Still no luck at the toss for Shubman Gill! Gee, India’s toss luck of late has been truly rotten. 17 tosses in a row lost in ODI cricket.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Pitch report: hard surface but a touch of moisture
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Shane Watson states that it is a hard surface but with some moisture in the pitch, which will only help the seam bowlers like Josh Hazlewood and Mohammed Siraj. But if the early stages can be survived, then runs to be had for the batters, particularly in the first half of the day.
Oct 23, 2025 8:20 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Milestone watch for Virat Kohli – Kumar Sangakkara in his sights
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Perth might have been a stinging failure, but Virat Kohli does share a love story with the Adelaide Oval. From his announcement as a player who was ready for the history books with the twin tonnes in 2014, to the tragedy of 36 all-out in 2020, he has seen it all at this venue. Would this not be the perfect place to score the 54 runs which would take him into second place outright in the ODI scoring charts, right behind Sachin Tendulkar?
Oct 23, 2025 8:16 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: India’s team selection bound to interest
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: What fans will be keen to keep an eye on is if Gautam Gambhir will pull the trigger on any changes. As a whole, one loss after a streak of 8 wins is no cause to panic, but Gambhir does seem like the kind of coach who likes to be proactive. Don’t be a problem-solver, but the guy who ensures the problem doesn’t show up in the first place. With Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kuldeep Yadav, and more waiting in the wings, will there be a shuffling of the board in Adelaide?
Oct 23, 2025 8:02 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Shubman Gill eyes first win as ODI captain
This is the first series for India’s new ODI captain, Shubman Gill. After the defeat in the first match, he will be eyeing his first win at the helm. Notably, Gill made a decent start to his Test captaincy in the England tour and would hate to be on the losing side of things when it comes to ODIs as far his debut series as captain is concerned.

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Adelaide Oval pitch report
The pitch at Adelaide Oval is one of the best ones for batting in Australia. The venue mostly presents conditions with which the Indian team is familiar with. However, different pictures from the eve of the second ODI showed that there was a tinge of grass left on the surface. Looking at how the Indian top order faltered in the first ODI at Perth, the Aussie management might well have requested for conditions that would support their seamers.
Oct 23, 2025 7:38 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Rohit Sharma looks to improve his numbers in Adelaide
While Kohli has enjoyed batting in Adelaide, the same cannot be said about Rohit Sharma. In the six ODI innings that he has played here, Rohit has scored only 131 runs at an average of 21.83. The veteran Indian opener will be looking to score big today and improve his numbers at the venue. Besides, this also presents him a chance to perform and make a case for himself for the 2027 WC.
Oct 23, 2025 7:29 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Virat Kohli and his love for the Adelaide Oval
Virat Kohli enjoys batting at the Adelaide Oval. In ODIs, Kohli has played four matches at this venue. In these four matches, he has scored 244 runs at an average of 61 with two centuries.

Oct 23, 2025 7:05 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Does Kuldeep Yadav finally get a chance?
Kuldeep Yadav was kept out of the playing XI in Perth. The conditions in Perth were favourable for the pacers and hence the call seemed justified. However, Adelaide might provide the teams with a much better batting track and hence the inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav could be a viable call for India.
Oct 23, 2025 7:00 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Will Harshit Rana play?
There wa quite a bit of discussion around the performance of Harshit Rana and his place in the team. In the first match he bowled four overs, in which he conceded 27 runs while failing to pick up any wickets. However, his rhythm seemed good and he tried to be aggressive with the ball. It would be interesting to see whether India continue with the young pacer or look to bring about a change in their combination.
Oct 23, 2025 6:51 AM IST
India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Change in Australia’s composition
