Why did Rohit Sena collapse in Chennai ODI? Learn four big reasons for India’s defeat

Chennai: The thrilling 3 match ODI series between India and Australia has now come to an end. In the third and deciding match of the series played in Chennai, the Kangaroos defeated India by 21 runs to capture the series 2-1. Australia, under the leadership of Steve Smith, put 269 runs on the board in the third ODI batting first and Rohit Sena was all out for 248 runs in the second innings. In such a situation, the visiting team won the match by 21 runs as well as won the series. This defeat disappointed Team India and their fans a lot. So let’s know what were the main reasons for India’s defeat in Chennai ODI.

1) India failed to dismiss Australia’s tailenders

In the match played between India and Australia in Chennai, the bowling of the Indian cricket team remained on cloud nine. Team India had dropped Australia’s 6 wickets for 196 runs only. But after this there were some good partnerships between Australia’s bowlers, due to which their score reached 270. The Indian bowlers took longer to dismiss the tailenders of the Australian team.

2) Indian middle order completely flopped

Chasing the target of 270 runs, the innings of the Indian team got off to a great start. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got the team off to a good start. After this Virat Kohli and KL Rahul also batted well. Significantly, the middle order of the Indian team was a complete flop. Barring Hardik Pandya, every player disappointed with their batting in the middle order.

3) Suryakumar’s bat remained silent

For Suryakumar Yadav, the explosive middle-order batsman of the Indian team, the ODI series played against Australia was no less than a nightmare. Surya could not score even 1 run in the 3 matches played. He got out on the very first ball i.e. Golden Duck in every match. In such a situation, Surya’s failure to bat in the third ODI also became a major reason for the defeat of Team India.

4) Run out of in-form Akshar Patel

Indian team’s star all-rounder Akshar Patel’s bat has spoken fiercely this time against Australia. He has beaten the Australian bowlers a lot. But in an important match like Chennai, Akshar Patel was run out after scoring just 2 runs. Steve Smith’s finesse sends him back to the dressing room. Akshar’s run out was one of the turning points of the match. The cleverness of Steve Smith did Akshar Patel’s work, the veteran batsman returned to the pavilion after scoring 2 runs.IND vs AUS: On whom did Rohit Sharma get angry, told why he lost the ODI series from Australia
