SaralnamaIndian openers Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma shared popcorn during a rain break in Perth. The first ODI against Australia was interrupted after India lost three early wickets. Rohit (8) and Gill (0) were dismissed cheaply, along with Virat Kohli (0). The match was halted with India at 37/3 in 11.5 overs. Shreyas Iyer (6)* and Axar Patel (7)* were at the crease when rain stopped play. The brief respite allowed the Indian batters to relax and refocus amid the high-pressure game. Australia's bowlers will look to exploit the damp conditions when play resumes. (Updated 19 Oct 2025, 11:57 IST; source: link)
