‘Hitman’ became the first Indian batter to score 1,000 ODI runs on Australian soil.

Adelaide: Virat Kohli endured a frustrating outing in the second ODI against Australia, falling for his second consecutive duck in the three-match series. The star batter was adjudged LBW to a delivery from Xavier Bartlett, who had earlier dismissed Shubman Gill, compounding India’s top-order woes.
While Kohli struggled to find form, Rohit Sharma reached a remarkable milestone, becoming the first Indian batter to score 1,000 ODI runs on Australian soil. The achievement adds another accolade to the veteran opener’s illustrious career and provided a rare bright spot for India amidst a challenging batting display.
Meanwhile, this is apparently the first time that Kohli has fallen for consecutive ducks in his illustrious ODI career.
