India vs Australia Live Updates: Axar Patel's drop of Matt Short on 23 cost his team runs, and the match likely would have gone a different direction if he held on during an otherwise strong performance.

India vs Australia Highlights: Australia seal a 2-0 lead after India fall to the hosts in Adelaide. Not the best start to life under Shubman Gill's captaincy, as they ended up maybe 15 runs short after a batting performance that saw a Virat Kohli duck and a lower-middle order collapse. In return, Matt Short was dropped twice enroute to his 74, costing the Indian team, before a late explosion by Mitchell Owen and a fine performance by Cooper Connolly (61*) took the hosts home.

Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer's 118-run partnership key to help India post a competitive total in Adelaide after Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli fell cheaply after being put in to bat. The two Mumbai batters rebuilt, with Rohit scoring a fighting 73 and Shreyas batting well for his 61. Axar Patel would then provide crucial runs as wickets meant India lost their way a touch, but a late blitz by Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh helped post a strong total on a tricky wicket. 265 to chase for Australia.

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.

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.

Oct 23, 2025, 10:44:03 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, 10:38:26 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, 10:35:28 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, 10:31:48 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, 10:19:38 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, 10:11:22 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, 10:02:30 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, 09:51:42 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, 09:37:20 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, 09:34:17 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, 09:27:43 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, 09:20:51 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, 09:15:55 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, 09:14:41 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, 09:11:54 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, 09:06:26 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, 09:02:59 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, 08:59:53 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.

Oct 23, 2025, 08:55:05 IST

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, 08:50:06 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, 08:43:41 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: It is actually three changes for Australia. Phillippe, Kuhnemann, and Ellis miss out as Carey, Zampa, and Bartlett return

Australia's XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Matt Short, Alex Carey (wk), Matt Renshaw, Cooper Connolly, Mitchell Owen, Mitchell Starc, Xavier Bartlett, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

Oct 23, 2025, 08:42:00 IST

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: India remain unchanged in Adelaide

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: No changes for India as they keep the faith with the combination from Perth.

India's XI: Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Nitish Reddy, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj.

Oct 23, 2025, 08:34:27 IST

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Australia choose to BOWL FIRST

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.

Marsh chooses to bowl first with two changes, Carey and Bartlett in for Phillippe and Ellis. India remain unchanged.

Oct 23, 2025, 08:27:27 IST

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, 08:20:54 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, 08:16:45 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, 08:02:18 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.

Oct 23, 2025, 07:50:46 IST

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, 07:38:59 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, 07:29:35 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.

Kohli has been impressive at the venue across formats. In Test cricket he has scored 527 runs at an average of 52.70, while in the T20Is he has scored 204 runs at the same average.

The numbers are elite and are a proof of how much he enjoys batting at this venue. The Indian fans will hope that his love affair for the Adelaide Oval continues and he scores something big and substantial in this game.

Oct 23, 2025, 07:15:12 IST

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Adelaide weather update

The first match in Perth turned out to be a rain-marred affair. However, the weather forecast for the 2nd ODI is encouraging. As per the weather forecast for the day, there is only around 10% chance of rain. So, the fans can expect a full game and exciting action from the Adelaide Oval.

Oct 23, 2025, 07:05:42 IST

India vs Australia Live Score, IND vs AUS 2nd ODI 2025: Does Kuldeep Yadav finally get a chance?
