The three-match ODI series between India and Australia is going on. In this series, new captain Shubman Gill is opening the innings along with Rohit Sharma. India lost the first ODI in Perth by seven wickets. Rohit Sharma managed just eight runs, was dismissed by Josh Hazlewood, while Shubman Gill was dismissed by Nathan Ellis for 10 runs. Both the openers failed to give a solid start. All eyes will once again be on these two openers in the second ODI in Adelaide on Thursday.
An old video of Rohit and Shubman Gill is going viral
Ahead of this match, an old video of Rohit Sharma shouting at Shubman Gill during a run-out is going viral. This video is from the first T20 against Afghanistan. Afghanistan scored 158-5 in 20 overs. Rohit Sharma played just two balls and was dismissed due to a misunderstanding with Shubman Gill. During the match in Mohali, Rohit Sharma was clearly seen getting angry at Gill on his way back to the pavilion.

Rohit Sharma was run out
Rohit hit a powerful shot towards mid-off off Fazalhaq Farooqui, but Gill kept an eye on the ball and called for no runs. Ibrahim Zadran quickly picked up the ball and threw it towards the striker’s end, resulting in Rohit’s sudden run out. The frustration on Rohit’s face is clearly visible in the video, as he expresses his disapproval to Gill. This incident highlights the importance of the synergy between India’s two openers.
