Virat Kohli: The cricket teams of India and Australia are face to face in the first ODI. This first match of the series is being played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Hardik Pandya is captaining an ODI for the first time.
Because in the first ODI, Team India’s regular captain Rohit Sharma is not in the match for personal reasons. On the other hand, Australia’s command is in the hands of experienced Steve Smith.
Smith had also led the Kangaroo team in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Meanwhile, a photo of Indian batsman Virat Kohli goes viral on social media.
Virat Kohli’s Fans Are Crazy About His Honesty
Batting first after losing the toss, Australia had a poor start. Travis Head became the victim of Siraj by scoring five runs. After this, Mitchell Marsh and captain Steve Smith shared a 72-run partnership for the second wicket. Hardik Pandya caught Smith at the hands of wicketkeeper KL Rahul. He could score 22 runs. He returned to the pavilion after playing a blistering inning of 81 runs in 65 balls with the help of 10 fours and five sixes.
Overall, the kangaroo batters gave Team India a target of 189 runs, but when Team India started chasing these runs, the start was not good. Meanwhile, when Team India’s batsman Virat Kohli came to bat and was dismissed by Mitchell Marsh, he did not wait for the umpire’s decision like other players, and Kohli walked out of the ground. Because Virat knew that he was out, seeing his honesty, the fans were also pleased.
