IPL 2023: Indian Cricket Team – After the highs of the Test series win over Australia, India suffered a 2-1 ODI series loss to Australia. While the Rohit Sharma-led side showed enough spunk in the third ODI, fans are not impressed with the result, especially when it came in the home ODI series. Not only India lost the series, but also World’s Number one ranking in ODIs to Australia. Fans have flooded Twitter demanding the Rohit Sharma-led side to stick to playing IPL only.

After the first ODI win in Mumbai, India succumbed to two losses with batting being the major let-down. Big players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya did not show enough consistency, and that resulted in Australia delivering the knockout blows to the host.
Incidentally, Australia were the last international team to beat India in a bilateral ODI series back in 2019. The scoreline back then was 3-2. Since that series defeat four years back, India have won seven back-to-back bilateral ODI rubber at home.
It was three games in a row that the Indian top-order flattered to deceive and that too in home conditions. They could have been blanked 3-0 in the series had Australia scored at least 235 in the opening ODI. The highest run-getter for India in the series was KL Rahul with 116 runs and that tells the story.

(This is not a rant thread but a cautionary note for all ICT fans out there)
This series badly exposed us to such a degree that it is undeniable to say that we are screwed ahead of 2023 wc at home. #INDvsAUS #INDvsAUS3rdodi #SuryakumarYadav #dravid #PAKvAFG #ViratKohli pic.twitter.com/1Miyi6RXP4— Tom Gravestone (@Whygravestone) March 22, 2023
