NEW DELHI: India are facing Australia in a three-match ODI series, with new captain Shubman Gill opening alongside Rohit Sharma. In the opening match in Perth, India suffered a seven-wicket defeat (DLS method). Rohit managed just 8 runs before falling to Josh Hazlewood, while Gill scored 10 before being dismissed by Nathan Ellis, as the pair failed to provide a solid start in the first ODI.The spotlight will once again be on the two openers when India take on Australia in the second ODI in Adelaide on Thursday.Ahead of the match, an old video of Rohit yelling at Gill during a run-out mix-up is going viral. The footage is from the first T20I against Afghanistan, where India had restricted the visitors to 158-5 in 20 overs.In the run chase, Rohit could face only two balls before being dismissed for a duck due to a miscommunication with non-striker Gill in Mohali. A visibly frustrated Rohit lashed out at Gill while walking back to the dugout.Rohit had struck a powerful shot to mid-off off Fazalhaq Farooqi, but his partner was more focused on tracking the ball than calling for a run. Ibrahim Zadran collected the ball quickly and threw it to the striker’s end, catching Rohit off guard.Watch the video hereThe video shows clear frustration on Rohit’s face as he expressed his disappointment with Gill at the opposite end, highlighting the importance of coordination between India’s openers ahead of the crucial second ODI.Rohit became the fifth player from India to make his 500th international appearance after he featured in the Playing XI in the first ODI match in Perth.He became the fifth Indian player to achieve this milestone, following Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Rahul Dravid.
