Saralnama0 runs in 2 matches for Virat Kohli as India lost the ODI series in Australia. The team struggled in batting, bowling, and fielding. Captain Shubman Gill lost both tosses, forcing India to bat first in tough conditions. Top 3 batsmen failed, scoring only 100 runs combined in 2 matches. Spin selection favored finger spinners over wrist spinners on Australian pitches. Gill's captaincy lacked the energy seen under Kohli or Rohit. Fast bowlers underperformed, taking only 5 wickets in 2 matches compared to Australia's 11. These factors led to one-sided victories for Australia in both ODIs.
