Here are the home team player ratings from the second ODI with Australia:
IND vs AUS 2023: Only Virat and Axar can provide resistance as Team India turns into a terrible batting display
Rohit Sharma: 2/10
Rohit was unable to influence a return to the side. Starc sets him up beautifully when the outswinger claims his edge outside at just 13.
Shubman Gil: 1/10
During the second game run, Gill reached out to play a square drive from Stark, only to spoon the catch straight to the rear point. The opening pitcher didn’t learn from his ejection in the previous game when he bagged the duck that caused India’s miserable collapse.
Suryakumar Yadav: 1/10
Suryakumar again only had one ball as another Starc inswinger rendered him completely helpless. He has seven single-digit scores in the last ten ODI innings and may have run out of time to justify his position in the side.
Virat Kohli: 6/10
Kohli was the only top-order hitter to offer resistance when he put together the Fighting 31. Nathan Ellis Immediately after he had done all the hard work in playing a new ball spell, he was trapped up front in 16 overs.
KL Rahul: 3/10
Rahul pulled India out of the first ODI hole, but failed to repeat the feat. Stark’s deadly inswinger came back at 9 with no chance to line up his bats in time.
Hardik Pandia: 1/10
Hardik hooked up with one outside off and his technique against the ball in motion was again under scrutiny. Smith single-handedly played the stunner and sent him on his way.In the only over he bowled, the all-rounder was plundered for three-six Mitchell Marsh.
Ravindra Jadeja: 3/10
Jadeja turned into a nervous batting display. His luck eventually ran out as the delivery bounced slightly higher than expected, shortening his ill-advised glide to third man. Southpaw could not adapt to the situation.
Axor Patel: 6/10
Axor remained undefeated again in India, this time in a different format. He struck two sixes off Starc, injecting a bit of joy into the inning. The left-arm spinner tried his best with the ball to no avail.
Kuldeep Yadav: 1/10
Kuldeep thought it wise to separate Sean Abbott The Men in Blue got into all sorts of trouble, finding a fielder in the circle to make Axor run out. His only over was 12 runs.
Mohammed Siraj: 1/10
Siraj was the last man to be fired for getting a delivery he had no control over. He leaked his 37 runs in his three overs bowled and for the first time in a long time failed to pick up a wicket on a power play.
Mohammad Shammi: 1/10
Mohammad Shami got the first ball duck as he followed Kuldeep back to the pavilion. He was taken by three fours and two sixes in three overs and dropped a catch in 11 overs.
